2012 CPI Bravo 0.1L Petrol · SY12 ATF

This vehicle’s MOT history demonstrates a stable, low-risk roadworthiness profile, though the most recent test occurred over four years ago on January 13, 2022 , when the mileage stood at just 713 miles . No defects were recorded across any of the six tests spanning 2018 to 2022, including a curious duplicate entry on August 21, 2018 , where both a pass and a fail were logged at the same mileage—likely an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with suspension, brakes, or structural integrity during these tests. That said, the four-year gap since the last MOT means critical components like brakes, tyres, and emissions systems have not been formally verified against current UK standards. The recorded mileage of 713 miles over nearly 14 years —approximately 51 miles per year —is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and model. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate deterioration of rubber components (suspension bushes, seals, wiper blades) and lead to battery failure or fuel system stagnation. The most significant mileage jump occurred between August 2018 (496 miles) and September 2019 (644 miles) , a 148-mile increase in just over a year , which could indicate brief but intensive use before another extended layoff. Such erratic low-mileage patterns often correlate with neglect of routine maintenance, including fluid changes and minor servicing, which are critical even for lightly driven vehicles. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs , particularly for perished rubber or corrosion-induced failure points, given the vehicle’s age. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as low mileage does not preclude deterioration from moisture or lack of use. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns must be examined, as the absence of MOT failures could mask uneven wear from improper inflation or alignment. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or rust penetration, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods outdoors. The battery and fuel system should also be tested, as prolonged inactivity can render them unreliable. While the MOT record suggests no major structural issues, a professional assessment of floorpan corrosion and subframe integrity is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and the potential for hidden deterioration.
