2005 Proton Impian 1.6L Petrol · EU55 LXB

The 2022‑11‑01 MOT at 132,305 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Proton Impian remained roadworthy at that time. Since the previous test in November 2021, mileage has risen by roughly 6,200 miles, a rate consistent with average annual use for a 21‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern up to the last inspection, though the four‑year gap since the test raises the possibility of emerging issues. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 126,115 miles in November 2021 to 132,305 miles a year later, matching the typical 6,300 miles per year expected for a vehicle of this age. The one‑year interval between tests indicates regular usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, and no abrupt mileage spikes are evident. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any binding in the rear brake calipers, as these components are prone to deterioration after high mileage. Inspection of the brake discs, structural rust, exhaust condition and drivetrain components is also advisable to verify that the previously clean record reflects genuine mechanical health. While the MOT history demonstrates no immediate failures, the four‑year interval since the last test means that hidden wear on the suspension, brakes or structural elements may have developed, making a comprehensive physical inspection essential before purchase.
