2014 Skyteam ST 0.0L Petrol · DX14 CKA

The vehicle maintains a technically roadworthy status, though the record indicates a history of extreme static use. The most recent test on 8 March 2023 at 184 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at the same mileage. This isolated failure suggests a clerical error or a minor adjustment rather than a systemic mechanical decline. The overall trend remains stable but the data lacks any evidence of consistent mechanical operation. The mileage pattern is highly anomalous for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging fewer than 20 miles per year. Between February 2020 and March 2023, the car covered only 24 miles, moving from 160 to 184 miles. This extremely low usage implies the vehicle has spent the vast majority of its life stationary. While this limits wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings, it introduces significant risks related to fluid degradation, perished seals, and dry-rot that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage. The brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion and seized pistons, which often occur when brakes lack regular movement. You should also inspect tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting due to age rather than tread depth. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis and fuel lines should be checked for surface rust, as moisture accumulation can accelerate corrosion on vehicles that are not driven regularly to dry out the under.
