2018 Hobby Optima V65GE 2.3L Diesel · PX18 BFO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 05 June 2025 at 12,347 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean results across the last five recorded tests suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters under the DVSA inspection criteria. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,543 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 6,064 miles and June 2024 at 10,466 miles, the car covered only 4,402 miles over two years. Since then, the accumulation has remained gradual, with only 1,881 miles recorded in the final year of testing. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, it also implies the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can affect secondary systems. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage cars. Brake discs are prone to surface corrosion and light pitting when a vehicle is not used frequently, which can lead to binding calipers or uneven braking performance. The inspection should also check for sidewall cracking on the tyres, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verifying the condition of fluids and rubber seals is essential to ensure moisture ingress has not occurred during the long periods of inactivity.
