1960 Wolseley 15/60 1.6L Petrol · 215 XVY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by consecutive clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 December 2024 at 15,640 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfect scores suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting all DVSA testing parameters. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 66-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 237 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 14,537 miles and December 2024 at 15,640 miles, the car covered only 1,103 miles. This low usage indicates the vehicle is likely a collector item used very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often introduces risks related to the degradation of rubber components and the stagnation of fluids due to infrequent operation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Pay close attention to the rubber elements, including suspension bushes, brake hoses, and wiper blades, for cracking or perishleness. Because the vehicle sits for long periods, check the structural integrity for hidden corrosion in the sills and floor pans that a standard MOT test might not fully deconstruct. Ensure the brake calipers are not binding and that the cylinders have not seized from lack of use.
