2016 Scomadi Turismo 0.1L Petrol · HF65 BUU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 21 May 2025 at 7,435 miles. The maintenance trend appears somewhat inconsistent, moving from a period of relatively clean tests to recent mechanical failures. While the most recent result shows no defects, the failure on 09 May 2025 due to a front shock absorber with negligible damping indicates that components are beginning to fail despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 744 miles per year. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends significant periods stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance issues. Between the 2023 test at 6,914 miles and the 2025 tests, the vehicle covered only about 1,000 miles, confirming a pattern of very light, intermittent use. Such low usage often results in seals drying out or components seizing rather than wearing down through friction. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows recurring issues with front brake binding, first noted in January 2023 at 6,914 miles and again in February 2024 at 7,182 miles. This suggests a tendency for the calipers to stick, likely due to the vehicle sitting idle for long periods. The recent shock absorber failure also highlights the need to inspect all suspension components for damping quality and potential leaks. Beyond the recorded faults, the lack of recent mileage means the buyer must verify the condition of rubber components, such as tyres and bushings, which can perish from age rather than tread wear. The 2021 failure regarding the stop lamp switch indicates minor electrical component issues have occurred previously, so a thorough check of all exterior lighting and electrical connections is advisable to ensure no other age-related degradation has set in.
