2010 Skyteam ST 50-3 SM 0.0L Petrol · FX10 FPO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-04-29 at 3,956 miles recorded a PASS with no defects. Subsequent tests from 2020 and 2017 also showed PASSes or non-defect FAILs, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No critical issues were flagged in the recorded history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic compliance. However, the four-year gap since the last MOT raises concerns about unassessed deterioration, particularly given the low mileage implying potential inactivity. The vehicle’s mileage of 3,956 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 247 miles annually, far below typical usage. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. The MOT records lack detail on specific repairs, with no advisories or defects noted, but the sparse data does not confirm proactive maintenance. The 2020-10-28 test recorded both a PASS and a FAIL at near-identical mileages, an anomaly that may reflect administrative errors or unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of long-term inactivity, including corroded underbody components, hardened suspension bushes, and brake system stiffness. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs does not preclude wear in calipers or discs, which may require closer scrutiny. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are critical areas for older vehicles. The low mileage and infrequent testing mean physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s current condition beyond recorded data.
