The 2014 Morgan 4/4 has 3 known issues. 1 of these are classified as serious faults that could be expensive to repair. 2 are moderate concerns worth inspecting before purchase.

Ash Wood Frame Rot

Serious

The 4/4's body panels are fixed to an ash-wood frame, and moisture trapped behind panels, under wings or around door sills can rot the timber. Soft rockers below the doors, damp sill boards and loose or dropping doors are the warning signs; post-1986 cars had factory Cuprinol-treated wood, but earlier examples are higher risk. Structural wood repairs are expensive and should only be undertaken by a Morgan specialist familiar with traditional framing.

Symptoms: Soft or spongy wooden rockers and sill boards, Loose or misaligned body panels...

Est. repair cost: £1,000–£5,000

Sliding Pillar King Pin and Bush Wear

Moderate

Every Morgan 4/4 uses the traditional sliding-pillar front suspension that dates back to 1909. Its king pins and phosphor-bronze bushes need regular greasing; if the interval is missed they wear, causing play in the front hubs, heavy steering, a shimmy through the wheel and uneven tyre wear - and excessive play is an MOT failure. Replacement means pressing out worn pins and bushes and re-setting the damper blades, work best left to a Morgan specialist.

Symptoms: Heavy steering, Steering shimmy or vibration through the wheel...

Est. repair cost: £400–£800

Wing and Valance Corrosion

Moderate

Before 1986 Morgan wings were attached to the car and then spray painted in situ, so when the body flexed the paint cracked and rust formed behind the wing panels. Aluminium wings rolled over a steel wire can also suffer electrolytic corrosion at their edges, and the front valance can rust where it meets the bulkhead. Paint blisters around wing-light bolts and headlamp nacelles are the first warning; severe cases need wing removal and panel beating by a Morgan-trained body shop.

Symptoms: Paint blisters at wing edges and fixing bolts, White powdery residue at aluminium wing seams...

Est. repair cost: £600–£1,800

Buying Tips for the 2014 Morgan 4/4

  • Press your fingers into the cabin side padding below each door - soft wooden rockers or sill boards mean ash-frame rot, an expensive structural repair.
  • Jack up the front wheels and check for vertical or lateral play in the hubs; worn sliding-pillar king pins and bushes cause heavy steering and MOT failure.
  • Inspect wing edges, headlamp nacelles and fixing bolts for paint blisters - pre-1986 cars rust behind the wings because they were painted before assembly.
  • Do not be seduced by ultra-low mileage: underuse seizes brake calipers and perishes tyres, hoses and gaskets - insist on a long test drive of 50 miles or more.
  • Prefer a Morgan specialist inspection and check 4/4 Club history; the Ford Zetec (1993-2004) and Sigma (2009-2018) engines are straightforward, but original Morgan body parts can be pricey and may need hand-fitting.
