1994 TVR Griffith 500 5.0L Petrol · B76 TVR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 83,551 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This reflects a remarkably consistent maintenance trend, as the car has maintained a clean sheet record across several decades of testing. The absence of advisories or failures in the history suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters during official inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 32-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of static use between November 2005 and July 2016, during which the car covered only 995 miles over eleven years. Since the 2016 test, the vehicle has covered just 838 miles in the last decade. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and braking system, the long intervals of non-use often mask risks related to perished rubber components, fluid degradation, and internal corrosion of moving parts. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus the inspection on areas associated with long-term storage and low-frequency use. The chassis should be scrutinized for structural corrosion, particularly where moisture might collect while the vehicle sits stationary. Inspection of the suspension bushes, fuel hoses, and tyres is vital for cracking or degradation, as these materials fail by age rather than mileage. Additionally, the brake calipers should be checked for binding or seizing, as the lack of regular use can lead to pistons sticking in the hydraulic system.
