2013 MEV 1.0L Petrol · AE13 CNO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 23 May 2026 at 9,745 miles. This test resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems remain within operational parameters. The history shows a consistent pattern of passes over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 750 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 8,756 miles and May 2026 at 9,745 miles, the car covered only 989 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts such as bushings, hoses, and brake lines due to age. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on the interior safety components, specifically checking the nearside seat belt webbing flagged in the May 2024 test at 9,490 miles. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, fraying webbing can indicate a material failure that requires replacement. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and flat spotting on the tyres, which are common issues for vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
