2003 Westfield CAR 1.3L Petrol · K17 CAR

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised, showing a worsening trend following a period of clean passes. While the car maintained perfect records between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in July 2025 revealed multiple critical safety failures. The tester identified a lack of effort at both front service brakes, indicating a total failure of the front braking system that requires immediate attention. This represents a significant regression in maintenance standards compared to the previous three successful inspections. Mileage data is insufficient to establish a clear usage pattern relative to the vehicle's age. The only recorded figure is 902 miles as of June 2021, which suggests either extremely low-mile use or a failure to record mileage during previous tests. Without intervening mileage figures between 2021 and 2025, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has undergone significant mechanical wear or if the components are failing due to age and perishability. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the rear suspension and braking components identified in the latest failure. The 2025 record flagged worn bushes on both rear lower shock absorbers and the nearside rear inner suspension arm, suggesting a general degradation of rubber components across the rear axle. The buyer should also verify the presence of the rear fog lamp and the brake pedal anti-slip provision, as these were noted as missing. Furthermore, the previous failure for a missing catalytic converter in 2021 suggests a history of unauthorized modifications or component theft, necessitating a thorough check of the exhaust system to ensure it is complete and compliant.
