2016 Ford Chausson 2.2L Diesel · MX16 DYV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 August 2025 at 43,821 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has clearly been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last several testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,40 miles annually. Between January 2022 at 28,599 miles and August 2025 at 43,821 miles, the car covered 15,222 miles over three years. This low usage pattern suggests the car likely undergoes short trips or sits stationary periodically, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average mileage. The intervals between tests are regular, showing the owner has proactively maintained the vehicle ahead of the annual deadline rather than waiting for the current certificate to expire. Despite the clean digital record, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage long-term storage. Check for cracking in rubber components such as suspension bushes, split CV boots, and perished tyre sidewalls which occur due to age rather than distance traveled. The brake discs should be inspected for pitting or surface corrosion, as infrequently used brakes lead to oxidation on the rotors. Additionally, verify the chassis for any early-stage structural corrosion to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden rust in a damp environment.
