2017 CAN-AM Spyder 1.3L Petrol · EO67 ACJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 May 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the historical data since 2022, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive, with a consistent record of passes and very few advisories. The absence of major failures suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained or has experienced minimal mechanical stress over its operational life. With a recorded mileage of 16,808 miles over approximately nine years, this vehicle has averaged fewer than 2,000 miles per year. This is considered very low usage for its age. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often indicates periods of prolonged inactivity. Such standing can be as detrimental as high mileage, potentially leading to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on non-moving parts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the nearside front assembly. Previous advisories noted slight play in the wheel bearing and perishing of the tyre. During a test drive, listen for a rhythmic humming or droning sound that changes with steering input, which would indicate the bearing play has progressed to a failure. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracks or dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Ensure that the tyre mentioned in the 2025 advisory has been replaced or is in a roadworthy condition, as perishing significantly increases the risk of structural failure. Given the low annual mileage, a comprehensive physical inspection of time-sensitive consumables is essential. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Verify the health of the 12V battery and check the service history for calendar-based fluid changes, as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant degrade over time even if mileage remains low. Finally, examine the under-trays and bodywork to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed in areas that the MOT tester previously noted as obscured.
