2018 Herald Maverick 0.1L Petrol · AF67 LFH

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a lack of recent MOT data spanning nearly five years. While the vehicle passed its last test on October 20 2021 at 10,841 miles, there is no evidence to verify its mechanical or structural condition since that date. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the car failed a test just one day prior due to multiple lighting failures and tyre issues that were only addressed immediately before the subsequent pass. The vehicle exhibits exceptionally low mileage, having covered only 10,841 miles over an eight-year period. This averages to 1,355 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a car of this age. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often introduces risks related to long-term storage and fluid degradation. The long gap between the 2021 test and the current date suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to corrosion and seized components. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the drive chain system, which was flagged as excessively loose during the October 2021 failure. Even if it was replaced, low-mileage chains can still stretch or suffer from dry seals if not used. You should also examine the brake discs for surface pitting and calipers, as infrequent use often causes heavy oxidation on the braking surfaces. Given the previous failure for a front tyre near the legal limit, verifying the age of the rubber compound is essential to ensure the tyres have not perished despite having sufficient tread depth.
