2005 Westfield Sports 1.8L Petrol · RX55 AHA

The vehicle maintains a stable and clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 24 July 2024 at 7,106 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in July 2023 and August 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 338 miles per year. Between August 2021 and July 2024, the odometer moved from 6,502 to 7,106 miles, confirming the car is used sparingly. Such low usage often indicates a leisure vehicle that spends significant time stationary, which introduces specific risks regardless of a clean MOT history. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of rubber components and braking systems. Long periods of standing can lead to perished suspension bushes, cracked tyres, and binding calipers. While the July 2024 test showed no defects, the lack of recorded wear suggests the car is barely driven, making it essential to check for fluid leaks and the general state of the brake discs for surface corrosion. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified in person. MOT tests often overlook deep-seated corrosion in kit cars or specialist builds unless it affects a primary mounting point. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for rust in the frame and underbody is necessary to ensure the lack of MOT advisories reflects genuine condition rather than a superficial inspection.
