2019 Mash Black 7 0.1L Petrol · BN19 ZST

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a failure in its most recent MOT test on 30 May 2025. While the car maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, the latest inspection indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. The tester identified multiple critical failures relating to the braking system, lighting, and exhaust system, suggesting that the low-mileage nature of the vehicle has led to neglect of essential mechanical inspections and component replacements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, with only 9,437 miles recorded. This averages to approximately 1,348 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. Between April 2024 at 7,595 miles and May 2025 at 9,437 miles, the car covered barely 1,842 miles. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases risks associated with seized components, rubber degradation, and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system. The 2025 failure flagged rear brake pads below the 1.0mm safety threshold and a roller brake test that failed to meet the 25% efficiency requirement. This indicates either extreme wear or seized calipers resulting from a lack of use. The front stop lamp remaining illuminated when released suggests a faulty light switch or wiring issue, while the noisy rear exhaust indicates likely corrosion or structural failure in the exhaust assembly that requires immediate attention. Given the low usage, the buyer should also check for flat spots on the tyres and surface rust on the brake discs, which are common in vehicles that sit for extended periods. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2025 suggests the previous owner was only performing reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. Ensure all reported faults are rectified and verified with a fresh MOT before any purchase is finalised.
