2014 Sinnis JS 0.1L Petrol · GV14 OVR

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical instability. The most recent test in June 2022 at 17,297 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the final four years leading up to the last recorded test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,441 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2019 and May 2021, where the vehicle covered only 5,671 miles over two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts. This is evidenced by the 2019 test where the tester flagged perished front and rear tyres despite age. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the drive chain and braking system, as these were recurring points of concern. The June 2018 failure at 9,742 miles due to a dangerously worn drive chain and the subsequent advisory in 2019 for a loose chain suggest this component is sensitive on this vehicle. Additionally, the front brake binding noted in 2019 requires a modern check to ensure the calipers have not seized or corroded during lack of use. Given the low mileage, also check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and fluid leaks from aged seals, which are common symptoms of vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
