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

This 2001 Mcc has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 41,144 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 25-year-old chassis, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,545 miles per year, with suspiciously low readings before 2006 and 2020, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake imbalance failure on 2006-05-11, a critical safety concern.
  • Major emissions failure on 2008-02-04, a severe environmental and safety issue.
  • Major engine/oil failure on 2008-02-04, pointing to a significant underlying mechanical fault.
  • Recurring headlamp and exhaust issues across multiple tests, indicating chronic problems.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner addressed immediate issues.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2021-08-06, despite its age.
  • No recurring brake failures after the 2006 dangerous imbalance.
  • No recent emissions failures since 2008.
