2003 Perodua Kenari 1.0L Petrol · AE53 KJA

The Perodua Kenari presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 3 July 2025 at 32,996 miles which recorded no defects. Across the four available annual tests from March 2022 through July 2025, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by the tester. The record shows no worsening conditions, recurring defects, or escalating wear indicators. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle. The March 2022 test at 32,650 miles and the July 2025 test at 32,996 miles show only 346 miles added across just over three years, averaging roughly 110 miles per year in that span. Earlier entries confirm the same picture: 32,654 miles in March 2023 and 32,992 miles in March 2024. This near-dormant usage suggests long standing periods rather than regular road use, though the sparse clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the Kenari in person for issues that MOT tests at such low mileages may not expose. Prolonged inactivity commonly degrades rubber suspension bushes, perishes tyres, and promotes underbody corrosion even when the tester logs no defects. The brake calipers and discs may have surface rust from standing; we advise a physical check of the brake operation and a thorough underside inspection for structural rust. Given the flawless test history and minimal annual coverage, the previous owner appears to have kept the car lightly used and legally compliant. The absence of advisories across four tests implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the low mileage means mechanical components have aged by time rather than wear and should be assessed for age-related deterioration.
