1987 TVR UNKNOWN4.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents as mechanically roadworthy based on the MOT record, with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test in July 2025 at 44,434 miles confirmed no defects, indicating the car remains in good working order. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recurring issues flagged, suggesting responsible ownership and preservation rather than neglect. The low annual mileage of approximately 1,139 miles per year over its 39-year lifespan indicates the vehicle has seen very light use, likely resulting in minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brake systems. The small annual accumulation of roughly 786 miles between 2024 and 2025 suggests the car has been driven occasionally but primarily stored. This preservation style helps explain the absence of defects, though it also means the battery, seals, and fluids may require attention if the car has been inactive for extended periods. For a potential buyer, a thorough in-person inspection is essential given the vehicle's age and storage history. Focus on checking the condition of the battery, hoses, and belts, which can degrade during prolonged storage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of age-related stiffness or cracking, as well as the brake system for any binding calipers or seized components. Verify the structural integrity of the chassis and body for any hidden corrosion or damage that may have developed during storage.
