2016 SMC CG 0.5L Petrol · KD16 OMR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The June 2025 test at 3,044 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful result in June 2024 at 2,742 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of compliance over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 300 miles per year. The record shows a steady, albeit very slow, increase from 618 miles in March 2022 to 3,044 miles in June 2025. While the data is clean, such minimal usage often implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary. This pattern can lead to specific issues such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotting on tyres, despite the lack of recorded failures in recent years. The only recorded failure occurred in April 2023 at 1,854 miles, which was resolved by the following test in May 2023. Because the vehicle has been driven so infrequently, a physical inspection should focus on components that degrade through disuse rather than wear. You should check for signs of corrosion on the underside and exhaust system, as well as the condition of all suspension bushes and coil springs. Verify that the braking system is free from binding issues and that the tyres show no signs of age-related cracking or sidewall degradation. Given the extremely low mileage, the service history should be scrutinized to ensure that essential fluids and oils have been changed according to manufacturer intervals, as stagnant fluids can cause internal engine sludge or moisture contamination.
