2013 Proton Savvy 1.1L Petrol · PO63 KYH

The Proton Savvy demonstrates a generally stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on the sixteenth of May 2025 at 30,213 miles. This latest test yielded several advisory notes covering a minor exhaust leak at the central section, slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing, surface corrosion on the rear axle, and ongoing corrosion on the offside front suspension arm. Previous test outcomes show a history of minor preparation oversights, such as a headlight aim failure in June 2024 and structural tire and door latch failures in August 2018, but the vehicle consistently achieves a pass after straightforward rectification. Accumulating only 30,213 miles across its thirteen-year life represents a very light usage pattern of roughly 2,324 miles annually. This low mileage creates periods of inactivity that directly explain recurring mechanical issues like surface corrosion on the brake discs in April 2021 and general axle oxidation. The odometer progression remains steady year on year without severe gaps, indicating the car has seen regular, albeit short, local journeys rather than prolonged abandonment. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the front suspension arms, which the tester flagged for corrosion across multiple annual examinations from 2018 through 2025. While currently deemed not seriously weakened, these components require close scrutiny for structural degradation alongside the rear axle surface rust. Checking the central exhaust joint for gas leaks and assessing the slight play noted in the nearside rear wheel bearing will ensure these minor advisory items receive proper pre-purchase budgeting.
