2013 Ronart W152S6 4.2L Petrol · 10 RXT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 45,680 miles, with a minor oil leak noted under regulation 8.4.1 (a) (i). This follows four consecutive passes since 2021, with similar oil leak advisories recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recurring oil leak suggests persistent engine sealing issues that may require closer scrutiny. No critical defects were flagged in any test, indicating the car remains roadworthy under standard conditions. The recorded mileage of 45,680 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 3,514 miles per year, significantly below the average for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2025 and 2024 tests, mileage increased by just 225 miles, and between 2024 and 2023 by 283 miles. This minimal annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven infrequently or stored for extended periods, which may accelerate component degradation from lack of use. The 2022 test at 44,830 miles marked the first recorded oil leak, implying the issue emerged after 2022 despite no prior advisories. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the engine compartment for signs of oil leakage beyond the reported advisory, such as seepage from gaskets or seals. The low mileage raises concerns about suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which may show premature wear from infrequent use or corrosion due to prolonged inactivity. Structural integrity checks should focus on the chassis and body for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. Brake calipers and discs should be tested for binding or uneven wear, as the lack of high-mileage service history means these components may not have been replaced according to manufacturer schedules. The vehicle’s overall condition hinges on whether previous owners maintained it during periods of low usage, which the MOT record does not fully clarify.
