2011 Microcar M-GO SLX CVT 0.5L Petrol · NX11 AVG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-12-05 at 17,739 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. Previous tests from 2023-11-20 (11,588 miles) and 2022-03-29 (11,308 miles) showed no issues, suggesting a stable maintenance record until the latest test. The failure without recorded defects raises questions about the testing process or unaddressed concerns, but no specific mechanical faults are documented. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of ~1,183 miles over 15 years, with a sharp jump from 11,588 miles in November 2023 to 17,739 miles by December 2024. This suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, potentially leading to component degradation from inactivity. The absence of defects in earlier tests does not confirm mechanical integrity, as low mileage can mask wear in systems like the CVT transmission or suspension. A physical inspection should prioritise the CVT system for fluid leaks or unusual noises, as well as suspension components for stiffness or corrosion, given the prolonged inactivity. The exhaust system and brake discs should be checked for rust, while the battery and electrical systems may require testing after long storage. No structural issues are indicated in the MOT history, but the sudden mileage increase warrants scrutiny of wear on tyres, brakes, and drivetrain components.
