1957 Lancia Aurelia 2.0L Petrol · 360 XWA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. On 30 May 2023, the Aurelia passed its test at 58,012 miles with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean result indicates that at the time of the test, all mechanical and structural components met the required safety standards without immediate remedial action. The recorded mileage of 58,012 miles over 69 years equates to an average of approximately 841 miles per year. This exceptionally low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or kept in a stored environment for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and braking system, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry which are not fully captured by a standard MOT test. Since the last inspection occurred over three years ago, a fresh mechanical assessment is mandatory to account for potential issues arising from stationary time. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis for corrosion, which remains a primary concern for vehicles of this era. Given the low mileage, specific attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes, brake lines for perished rubber, and the overall state of the tyre compounds to ensure they have not seized or perished since the 2023 certification.
