2013 Globecar 2.3L Diesel · FX14 CBF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 28,977 miles passed without any failures, although the tester noted emissions were too low to register. This result, combined with previous records, suggests the vehicle has remained in generally good condition and has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or recurring structural defects. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,229 miles per year. Between April 2021 and June 2022, the car covered only 154 miles, indicating long periods of very minimal use or storage. The usage increased slightly between 2022 and 2025, where the mileage climbed from 16,932 to 28,977 miles. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk associated with the age-related decay of components that perish over time rather than through friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stationary periods rather than mileage. Check for cracking in rubber elements, such as suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls, which become brittle from lack of use. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. Given the low emissions reading in 2025, verify that the engine is reaching optimum operating temperatures and that the exhaust system is not excessively fouled or obstructed by carbon buildup from short-trip driving.
