2007 Tornado TS 40 TS40 4.9L Petrol · BHJ 388F

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test in April 2026 at 7,158 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only mechanical defect identified in 2024 has been addressed. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the vehicle is currently being kept to a high mechanical standard despite its infrequent use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 377 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-usage patterns over the last five years, with only 2,379 miles covered between the March 2021 test and the the April 2026 inspection. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts, fluid breakdown, and tyre perish which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside rear wheel bearing to ensure the slight play noted in April 2024 has been fully rectified and does not recur. Given the extremely low mileage and age, it is critical to check for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers, which often seize when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the integrity of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these components degrade through time and exposure rather than through mileage mileage.
