    Low mileage in a year?

    Quick question.

    If a car has only been driven 1500 miles in a year since it last did the nct is it fair to think it should pass okay and not need anything doing?

    I'm wondering is there anything i should look out for on a car that has seen very little use and extended periods of no use altogether. Is it fine as long as the car has been stored in doors?

    I'd just stick it through the test, it should be fine.

    Give it a good drive maybe use some Dipetane too. Should be fine tho.

    You should ring insurance too and tell them you only do 1500pa dunno if it will bring cost down but worth a try
