PEMBLETON V-SPORT 2019 · 0.7L PETROL

This vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 18 May 2026 at 5,621 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving. A single failure in November 2022 at 1,086 miles was promptly rectified, with the subsequent test in December 2022 passing without issue. Since that minor electrical and parking brake adjustment fault, four consecutive tests have returned completely clean sheets, indicating consistent and attentive mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2019 vehicle. Covering just 5,621 miles over approximately seven years equates to a mere 803 miles per year. The progression reveals a clear pattern of light use and potential long periods of standing. Mileage jumped from 1,125 miles in December 2022 to 3,587 miles by January 2024, a gain of 2,462 miles in just over a year. This accumulation then slowed markedly, with only 2,035 miles added in the following two years leading to the May 2026 test. Such sporadic use warrants attention to components that deteriorate from age and inactivity rather than mileage alone. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the specific components flagged during the 2022 failure. The nearside direction indicators and headlamp main beam circuit require verification of wiring integrity and bulb connections, as electrical gremlins can resurface. The parking brake lever adjustment should be tested for correct travel and holding force on an incline. Beyond these historical advisories, the long periods of standing demand a thorough check of tyre sidewalls for perishing and dry rot, even with minimal tread wear. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion and sticking, a common issue on vehicles that sit stationary for extended durations. The suspension bushes and seals may also show age-related deterioration despite the negligible mileage.
