2003 Morgan 4/4 1.8L Petrol · BX53 AYO

This Morgan 4/4 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 5 September 2025 at 26,888 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is remarkably low for a twenty-three year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,169 miles per year. Between the 4 July 2019 test at 26,608 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered only 280 miles over six years. This extreme lack of use suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which often introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must focus on components that degrade through inactivity rather than friction. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, long-term standing can lead to perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and degraded fluids. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the fuel system for varnish or gumming caused by old petrol. The absence of recurring faults or advisories across the 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2025 tests suggests a meticulous ownership history. However, the failure and immediate pass on 4 July 2019 is an anomaly in an otherwise flawless record. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should prioritise the integrity of the chassis and the operation of the braking system to ensure no components have seized during storage.
