Proton.
What to Check Before Buying.
Proton vehicles, the Malaysian brand once common on UK roads, are now rare finds in the used market. Most models date from the 1990s and 2000s, when Proton sold rebadged Mitsubishi-based cars and some of its own designs like the Satria and Wira. Age and parts availability are key concerns for buyers today. Check any Proton's full history carefully, as mechanical and rust issues can emerge with age.
⚠ Known issue
Older Protons frequently show corrosion-related problems, especially around suspension mounting points and sills, which can lead to MOT failures if left unchecked. Get the full picture before you buy.
