1971 Triumph TR6 2.5L Petrol · AHP 307K

The most recent MOT for the 1971 Triumph TR6 was conducted on 2023-01-25, with no defects recorded. At 90,382 miles, the vehicle passed without issues, suggesting that any prior problems had been addressed. However, the last failure occurred on 2020-10-02, when multiple defects were noted: a structurally compromised tyre, a fuel system leak, a minor oil leak, non-functional direction indicators, and a faulty horn. These issues were resolved by the subsequent MOT in 2020-11-10, which passed without defects. The pattern indicates that the vehicle experienced a significant failure in 2020, but no recurring defects have been recorded since. The 2023 MOT’s clean result suggests the car is currently in good condition, though the long gap between the last two MOTs (over three years) raises questions about maintenance consistency. The low mileage of 90,382 miles for a 55-year-old vehicle implies infrequent use or periods of storage, which can lead to component degradation, particularly in rubber parts, electrical systems, and fluids. The mileage context (roughly 1,643 miles per year) is well below average for its age, which may indicate the car has not been driven regularly. This could result in issues like seized mechanisms, oxidized fuel systems, or deteriorated seals, even if no defects were recorded in the latest MOT. While the trend since 2020 shows improvement, the lack of recent MOT data (last tested in 2023) means the current condition’s stability is uncertain.
