AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Proton has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 22,994 miles. While it has a current valid MOT, the lack of historical data is a major red flag for a 17-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows a critical 8-year MOT history gap (Nov 2015–Dec 2023) with no recorded mileage, making its past usage and maintenance history completely unverified.
Things to check
- Critical 8-year MOT history gap (Nov 2015–Dec 2023) with no recorded mileage.
- First MOT test on 2012-11-13 recorded 22,994 miles, but no subsequent tests for 8 years.
- Unverified mileage during the 8-year MOT gap (Nov 2015–Dec 2023) is a major concern.
- Dangerous defect: Offside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Dec 2023) indicates past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Current valid MOT until 2026-12-16, indicating it is roadworthy now.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) in recent tests.
- Immediate retests for failures show issues were addressed promptly.
- Consistent low annual mileage (3,455 mi/yr) suggests light use.
