AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Mcc has 31 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 9,821 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age (9,821 miles in 24 years) is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,533 miles per year, with a concerning 2021 MOT gap and a 24-year history of just 9,821 miles.

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 7 failures and 12 advisories across 14 tests.
  • Recurring engine oil and headlamp advisories across multiple tests indicate chronic neglect.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,533 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle is a major concern.
  • The 2021 MOT gap suggests a period of unrecorded use or potential SORN status.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The vehicle has been consistently registered and taxed since its first registration in 2002.
