2015 Rieju MRT 0.1L Petrol · WV64 UWR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-13 passed with no defects recorded, though it was preceded by a failure just seven days earlier on 2025-12-06 at 2,916 miles—an unusually brief interval for a retest. The lack of specific fault codes in either entry suggests either an administrative oversight or a test where minor issues were overlooked, though no mechanical trends are evident from the record. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status is currently compliant, but the rapid retest warrants scrutiny of whether the failure was procedural or indicative of a latent issue that could recur. The recorded mileage of 2,926 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 266 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage may imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health due to lack of regular movement. The near-identical mileage between the two December 2025 tests (2,916 and 2,926) suggests the vehicle was not driven between tests, a pattern that could exacerbate issues like tyre dry-rotting or fluid degradation in the braking or steering systems. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the condition of bushes and coil springs—due to the prolonged inactivity. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs could also emerge if the vehicle was stationary for extended periods, leading to corrosion or seized calipers. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust progression when not regularly moved. The battery, given the lack of usage, may require testing for capacity and electrolyte levels. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, the unusual test interval and low mileage pattern necessitate thorough verification of these critical areas.
