2015 KSR Moto TW 0.1L Petrol · KV65 ABZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 28 April 2023 at 6,547 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The preceding tests in May 2022—both at around 4,300 miles—show a single failure on 6 May 2022, though no specific faults were recorded, which suggests either an administrative error or a minor oversight not requiring mechanical intervention. Since then, the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record, though the gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests (11 months) is unusually long for a low-mileage vehicle, raising questions about whether regular servicing was prioritised during this period. The recorded mileage of 6,547 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 595 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The jump from 4,317 miles in May 2022 to 6,547 miles in April 2023 (a 2,230-mile increase in just over a year) is also notable, as it suggests either a brief period of heavier usage or an accumulation of standing time before recent movement. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether this low mileage has spared critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers from accelerated wear, or if the vehicle has suffered from neglect during periods of disuse. Given the sparse MOT history and the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs—for signs of perishing or excessive play, as low mileage does not guarantee these components have remained intact. The braking system warrants close examination, including rear brake binding (a common issue in lightly used vehicles where dust and corrosion can cause sticking calipers) and the structural integrity of brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development even in low-mileage cars. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear should also be verified, as the failure to pass twice on tyre-related issues in 2022—despite no recorded defects—implies a potential oversight in maintenance.
