2018 Scomadi TL 200 0.2L Petrol · BJ18 NDC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards minor mechanical concerns. The most recent test on 25 April 2023 at 7,341 miles resulted in a pass despite a noted noisy exhaust. This defect indicates that while the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, the exhaust system is beginning to show signs of degradation that were not present during the previous 2022 inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 918 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 6,268 miles and the April 2023 test at 7,341 miles, the car covered only 1,073 miles. This suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often leads to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, brake corrosion, and degraded fluid quality. A buyer must physically inspect the exhaust system to determine if the noise noted in 2023 was a loose clamp or a deeper structural failure in the manifold. Given the low annual mileage, it is critical to check the brake discs for surface rust and seized calipers, as these components frequently fail when not used regularly. Additionally, examine the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as the age of the rubber often matters more than the remaining tread depth in low-mileage vehicles.
