2007 Proton Satria Neo
CarHunch analysed 228 real MOT records for the 2007 Proton Satria Neo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Proton Satria Neo passes its MOT on first attempt just 68.7% of the time, well below the UK average of 80%, and nearly 38% of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant red flag for buyers. Reliability is clearly a concern with this model generation.
At 46,273 miles median, these cars are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still racking up an average of 4.2 failures and 14.8 advisories per test, suggesting inherent durability issues rather than wear-and-tear from hard use. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, braking, and electrical systems, and budget for remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2007 Proton Satria Neo
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 37.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
