1961 Morris Minor 0.9L Petrol · 654 LWL

The Morris Minor presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 23 February 2026 at 53,759 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 9 July 2024 at 53,585 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the two available entries. Recorded mileage sits at 53,759 against a 1961 build, an average of roughly 827 miles per year. Between the July 2024 and February 2026 tests the odometer advanced only 174 miles, confirming extremely light use. The MOT history is sparse with just two clean entries and no advisories, so the record gives limited insight into component condition but shows no neglect signals. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related issues the MOT may not capture. At 65 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints are prone to perishing from long static periods. Corrosion on chassis rails and sills warrants close examination despite the clean emissions and structural results. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall cracking on the original-spec wheels. The low mileage implies gentle ownership, yet rubber and metal fatigue from storage outweighs wear from driving on this vehicle.
