2017 Morgan Plus 8 4.8L Petrol · 111 LYH

The 2017 Morgan Plus 8 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 15,193 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 16 February 2023 test at 13,228 miles, the car covered only 1,965 miles to the March 2026 pass at 15,193 miles, averaging roughly 1,688 miles per year. A single failure appears on 17 February 2025 at 14,439 miles, yet the tester logged no defects; the vehicle passed twelve days later on 17 March 2025 at 14,965 miles with a clean sheet. Such sparse, clean records give little evidence of neglect, though long standing periods implied by low annual use warrant scrutiny. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and outriggers for corrosion, given Morgans of this era use aluminium panels over an ash frame where moisture ingress can degrade structure if stored poorly. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes demand hands-on checks for binding or perishing from infrequent movement. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewalls show no cracking from age rather than wear. The February 2025 failure with no listed defect likely reflects an administrative or unrecorded minor issue. The consistent passes since suggest the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard. Prior to purchase, a qualified inspection of the drivetrain and structural timber remains prudent given the low mileage and marque-specific construction.
