It's an old lady's car. She never drives it and only has it as her son comes up to see her every Christmas and she thinks he may need the car, even though he has his own. Quite sad really as she's on her own and keeps paying the tax, MOT and insurance for it not to turn a wheel!

Those 36 miles in 5 years are probably just from driving to the MOT centre?

My gran did similar tbh, she's just given up driving but there was 26 miles between the last 2 MOT's. She only used the car to go to the hairdressers and church, both of which are a 5 minute walk from her house!

My nan had a low mileage Corsa, but not that low.

I wish old people bought decent models.

The biggest travesty of all is when cars like that go to scrappage in exchange for an imported Kia or something.

if it makes her happy and comfortable to have it there then its money well spent keeping it legal imo.
i'll bet it still smells like an old persons car though
