1990 Fleur DE LYS 2.0L Petrol · H916 BYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs after years of stability. The most recent test in September 2025 at 35,324 miles identified age-related rear service brake binding and a deteriorated central prop shaft flexible coupling. These issues represent a regression from the clean 2023 and 2019 records, indicating that while the car passes, mechanical components and rubber elements are beginning to fail due to age and inactivity rather than high use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging under 1,000 miles per year over its lifetime. However, there is a significant gap between July 2019 and June 2023, during which the car covered only 216 miles. The sudden jump of 229 miles between June 2023 and July 2024 coincided with a series of failures. This pattern suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of seals, perished rubber, and internal corrosion despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the drivetrain and cooling system based on the 2024 failures. The record notes a coolant leak and excessive carbon monoxide emissions, which necessitate a check of the head gasket integrity and fuel system health. The central prop shaft bearing and flexible coupling have appeared across multiple recent tests, suggesting these components require immediate attention to prevent mechanical vibration. Additionally, the recurring issues with tyre wear and uneven edges in 2024 indicate the suspension geometry should be checked to ensure bushes and dampers are properly aligned to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
