2009 Proton GEN-2 1.6L Petrol · FE09 PFF

The vehicle presents a consistently stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the available MOT history. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 29,955 miles returned a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum statutory requirements for structural integrity and mechanical operation without any noted defects. This continuity suggests a consistent level of upkeep regarding the fundamental components required for an MOT pass. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,762 miles per year. The data shows a very steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 28,771 miles in February 2022 to 29,955 miles in February 2026. This pattern indicates the car has been used for short, infrequent journeys rather than long-distance commuting. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers due to lack of regular movement. A physical inspection should focus on components that often degrade during periods of inactivity despite low mileage. You should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber seals to ensure they have not perished from age. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check that the calipers are not binding. Additionally, examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as rubber degradation is often more dependent on time than on distance travelled.
