Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 October 2025 at 76,250 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or resolved. This clean pass is a strong indicator of recent attention to the vehicle's roadworthiness, marking a clear improvement over the recurring minor issues noted in the preceding three years. With an average annual usage of approximately 2,061 miles over its 37-year lifespan, the vehicle displays a low-mileage profile consistent with a collector or weekend-use car. The mileage accumulation has remained remarkably consistent, with roughly 700 to 800 miles added annually between 2022 and 2025. This steady, low-intensity usage pattern is generally preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the drivetrain and seals have been exercised regularly rather than left to seize through prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay and underside to investigate the history of oil leaks noted between 2022 and 2024. While these leaks were documented as non-excessive, the air-cooled flat-six engine requires careful scrutiny for weeping at the cylinder base gaskets or oil return tubes. Given the 2022 failure regarding anti-roll bar linkage dust covers, a thorough check of all suspension bushings and rubber gaiters is prudent, as these components perish with age regardless of low mileage. Confirm that the oil leak mentioned in previous tests has been rectified rather than merely cleaned for the purpose of the recent MOT.
