2014 Daelim VL 0.1L Petrol · YC14 ACU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 17 May 2025 at 9,946 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistent performance suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the typical mechanical failures or structural degradations often seen in older-age machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 829 miles per year. Between June 2018 and October 2020, the car covered only 139 miles, indicating long periods of stationary use or storage. The five-year gap between the October 2020 test and the May 2025 test shows the vehicle travelled merely 30 miles in that interval. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that sit idle without regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stagnation rather than mechanical wear. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber seals, and seized calipers due to lack of movement. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and test the handbrake to ensure the mechanism has not seized. Additionally, check the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the miles driven.
