1999 Tiger KIT CAR 2.0L Petrol · D271 YNO

The 1999 Tiger Kit Car presents a fully roadworthy status as of the most recent examination. On 25 March 2026 at 8,039 miles, the DVSA test returned a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend remains stable. Every annual test across five years issued a clean certificate. No advisories or mechanical faults have emerged since the 22 February 2022 test at 1,847 miles. Mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a 27-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 1,847 miles in February 2022 to 4,447 miles by January 2023, then 5,816 in February 2024, 6,908 in February 2025, and 8,039 in March 2026. This equates to roughly 300 miles per year. Prolonged storage between tests is implied. The clean record suggests the previous keeper maintained statutory compliance and likely sheltered the car, though low mileage alone does not confirm component health. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items not captured by MOT pass criteria. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers issues. Yet a kit car of this vintage may harbour hidden structural rust in chassis seams or degraded rubber mountings from standing. Examine brake calipers for seizure after long inactivity. Verify exhaust emissions against expected norms for the engine specification. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the history implies conscientious ownership. A pre-purchase appraisal by a kit-car specialist remains prudent. Focus on structural integrity and fluid degradation rather than consumable wear, as tyres and wiper blades would have been renewed if defective.
