2007 Proton GEN-2 1.6L Petrol · PX56 AVN

The 2006 Proton Gen-2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 70,579 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 1 March 2024 examination at 53,204 miles and the 26 September 2022 test at 41,728 miles both passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its documented history, and the single failure event did not involve any recorded defect. The odometer reading of 70,579 miles against a 20-year lifespan equates to roughly 3,529 miles per year, marking this as a low-use vehicle for its age. A clear gap exists between the September 2022 test at 41,728 miles and the March 2024 test at 53,204 miles, during which the car covered about 11,476 miles, then a further 17,375 miles by October 2025. The records are sparse, with only four passing tests and one failed attempt logged, but each clean result suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance. On 20 September 2021 the tester issued a failure at 39,889 miles yet recorded no defects, an irregular DVSA entry that likely reflects an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the car's age and the likelihood of prolonged standing periods, as MOT passes at low annual mileage do not capture gradual perishables like tyres or wiper blades. Pre-purchase checks should focus on brake caliper operation after storage, fluid condition, and tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The clean record offers reassurance on statutory roadworthiness, but the sparse history and 20-year-old platform warrant hands-on verification of consumables the MOT does not routinely fail.
