2017 Qingqi QM 0.1L Petrol · YW66 AAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded across its last five MOT tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent 2025-04-27 test at 11,943 miles confirmed compliance, with no advisories or failures. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 similarly showed no issues, suggesting consistent adherence to regulatory standards. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the absence of defects implies the car has not developed critical wear in the assessed components. The mileage of 11,943 miles over nine years equates to an average of 1,327 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for this age. This low accumulation raises questions about usage patterns, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate degradation of rubber components, corrosion, or fluid stagnation. The MOT intervals show irregularity, with the longest gap between 2021-01-23 (5,506 miles) and 2022-02-05 (6,360 miles), followed by progressively longer intervals. While no issues were flagged, the sparse data does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond legal requirements. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, corroded underbody components, or seized suspension bushes, which may not surface in MOT tests. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but the low mileage could mask wear on brake discs or calipers if the vehicle was frequently stopped in short journeys. Additionally, the exhaust system and corrosion resistance should be scrutinized, as prolonged standing increases rust risk. The clean MOT history is reassuring, but the vehicle’s low usage warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm its mechanical and structural integrity.
