2019 Neco Abruzzi 0.1L Petrol · KT19 FBC

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status based on the last recorded inspection. The MOT conducted on 17 May 2022 at 3,592 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure with multiple safety-critical defects. Because there are no subsequent pass records following this date, the vehicle has remained out of legal road use for over four years. The maintenance trend suggests a lack of proactive care, even at the time of the last test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging only 513 miles per year. This low usage of 3,592 miles indicates the car has sat stationary for long periods rather than being driven regularly. While low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components, it often leads to degradation of rubber materials and fluids. The 2022 test confirmed this by flagging slight cracking on the frontside tyre wall, a classic symptom of dry rot from inactivity. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and electrical components before purchase. The 2022 tester identified a binding front brake and both front and rear pads reaching their minimum limits, indicating that the calipers may have seized or perished due to neglect. The failure of the horn and the offside front stop lamp further points to electrical faults or perished bulbs that were never addressed. Given the four-year gap since the last test, brake fluid likely contains significant moisture, and surface corrosion on the brake discs is inevitable.
