2004 Daewoo Kalos 1.1L Petrol · GP04 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a history of clean passes over several years. The most recent test on 31 March 2023 at 51,998 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a brief failure just two days prior at 51,992 miles. While the specific reason for that failure is not documented, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2004, averaging approximately 2,364 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2020 and March 2021, where the car covered only 737 miles in a full year. However, the period between April 2022 and March 2023 saw a higher increase of 8,823 miles. This consistently low annual mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the risk of perished rubber seals and internal fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on issues associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for corrosion or brake components, a manual check for hidden structural rust on the sills and wheel pans is essential to ensure the integrity remains sound. Inspect the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls, which frequently occurs when cars sit stationary, and verify the brake discs for surface pitting or seizing that can happen when a vehicle sits for extended periods.
