2007 CCM 404DS 0.4L Petrol · WX07 CCN

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 22 January 2025 showing no recorded defects. This pattern of clean testing across the 2024 and 2025 inspections suggests a history of consistent roadworthiness regarding the components subject to MOT scrutiny. However, the absence of any advisories or failures in the recent records provides a limited view of the mechanical state of components that fall outside the scope of the testing regime. The recorded mileage of 6,837 miles for a 2007 model represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 360 miles. This extremely low mileage indicates the vehicle has spent the vast majority of its nineteen-year lifespan stationary or in minimal use. While this reduces wear on high-friction components like brake pads, discs, and engine internals, such long-term inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and various seals, which may become brittle or perish despite the lack of physical mileage. Given the minimal distance travelled, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the vehicle's rubber and fluid-retaining components. During a test drive, pay close attention to any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate perished or hardened suspension bushes or perished shock absorber mounts. Additionally, check for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox, as seals can often dry out and fail when a vehicle is not operated regularly under operating temperatures. The lack of recorded defects means there are no specific mechanical failures to investigate, but the low usage necessitates a thorough check of the braking system's responsiveness. Listen for any grinding or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres, which may indicate surface corrosion on the brake discs from periods of inactivity. It is also advisable to inspect the condition of all hoses and belts for signs of cracking or perishing, as these items are subject to age-related degradation regardless of the distance the vehicle has covered.
