2002 CCM Dual Sport 0.6L Petrol · HF51 YSA

This 2002 CCM Dual Sport has passed its most recent MOT test on 20 June 2024 with no defects recorded, indicating a clean roadworthiness status at that time. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, lights, and emissions without issue. However, the test occurred over two years ago, which is unusually long for a vehicle of this age and low mileage. Given the DVSA’s recommendation for annual MOTs, this gap raises questions about whether the vehicle has been regularly serviced or driven since then. The recorded mileage of 9,484 miles over approximately 24 years—roughly 395 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage could imply prolonged storage, which may accelerate deterioration of rubber components like suspension bushes, seals, and wiper blades, or it could reflect careful, infrequent use. There are no intermediate MOTs or service records to confirm maintenance patterns, leaving critical components such as the drivetrain, electrical systems, and structural integrity unaccounted for beyond the single 2024 pass. Given the lack of recent testing, a buyer should prioritise an immediate, thorough inspection of high-wear items. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be checked for dry rot or excessive play, as prolonged inactivity can compromise rubber components. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural elements such as the frame, subframe, and fuel tank should be examined for corrosion, as off-road use and age increase susceptibility to rust. The absence of MOT history beyond 2024 means critical systems like the exhaust emissions, battery condition, and steering alignment cannot be verified. A pre-purchase inspection should include a test drive to assess handling, throttle response, and any unusual noises that might indicate neglected mechanical issues. Given the vehicle’s age and the long gap since testing, no component can be assumed reliable without direct inspection.
