Daewoo MOT History.... no way has it done 63 miles!!!

 

Date tested

5 February 2013 FAIL

 

 

Mileage28 miles

MOT test number4386 1663 3097

 

 

 

Test locationunavailable until further notice

 

Reason(s) for failure

  • Nearside Front Steering rack gaiter split (2.2.D.2d)
  • Nearside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)
  • Offside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)
  • Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)
  • Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)
  • Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)
  • Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)
I don't know, the majority of the failures are on rubber components which could have simply rotted away as it sat, and there's nothing about misaligned headlights that's mileage related.

 

Also, if you were going to lie about the mileage why go for such a low number, It's not like the car's wildly valuable whatever the mileage.

It's been sitting on flat tyres all round.  For years.  Hence the uniform side wall cuts.  Probably.

These Aussie mix-and-match bitsas are fascinating. BMC struggled to get the right car in the marketplace. A Farina with its bouncy suspension and a heavy 6 up front on rough roads must have been interesting. Presumably they didn't sell many?

 

ADO40 sales

Austin Freeway + Morris Freeway (NZ market only) + Wolseley 24/80

= 27,000 approx examples (1962-65)

 

By comparison over same period:

122,804 XL/XM Ford Falcons

 

UK comparison:

50,206 Austin Westminster 110 + Wolseley 6/110 (1961-68) [was that all??]

6,555 VP Princess 4-Litre R (1964-68)

9,992 Austin 3-Litre (1967-71)

 

Friday afternoon dragged a bit and I'm glad my OCD is sorted now.

Very interesting yea. Thats what finished BMC in the end. Ok cars but they just either didnt sell enough or make enough profit on each. Still a lovely old car.

My OCD. Ford Cortina  4-door 1500 in 1965 £690 - Austin 1800 £873 - Ford Zephyr 4 £817. Comparing apples with oranges I know but Cortina was significantly cheaper and even a Zephyr 6 was only £17 more than the 1800.
