2009 RAW Striker 1.6L Petrol · Q395 AAB

The 2009 Raw Striker presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 784 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of annual passes with no advisories or failures logged by DVSA. Mileage across the record shows extremely light use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The tester recorded 170 miles in June 2022, rising to 374 miles in June 2021, 573 miles in June 2023, dipping to 973 miles in June 2024, then falling to 784 miles in June 2025. Annual averages sit near 46 miles, with no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps; the clean sheet across all entries means no wear-driven faults surfaced to flag neglect. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of components prone to deterioration through prolonged standing rather than use. Long idle periods risk perishing suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on structural members despite the absence of MOT advisories. The low mileage offers no assurance that rubber and brake hydraulic parts have escaped age-related degradation. Given the kit-car nature of the Raw Striker and its sparse recorded use, a physical inspection of chassis welding, exhaust emissions under load, and brake disc condition remains prudent before purchase. The MOT history alone shows no mechanical red flags, but standing time demands hands-on checks the test record cannot capture.
