1987 LANCIA DELTA1.6L Petrol

The Lancia presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent DVSA test. The June 2023 examination at 39,295 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met minimum statutory standards at that time. Given the single clean entry, no worsening or improving trend can be plotted from the data supplied. Recorded mileage stands at 39,295 against a 1987 build, equating to roughly 1,008 miles per year across thirty-nine years of service. The June 2023 test captured that same 39,295 figure, and no earlier entries appear in the supplied history. Such low, static mileage implies extended periods of storage rather than daily use, though the absence of prior records prevents verification of any gaps or rapid accumulation between tests. A buyer should commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly chassis rails and floor pans, as long-term standing on a thirty-nine-year-old Italian hatchback invites moisture-related decay even after a clean MOT. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for perishing or seizure from disuse, since the 2023 pass does not certify components untouched by age. The expired nature of the June 2023 certificate relative to today's date means the car currently holds no valid MOT. Any purchase requires a fresh test before road use, with close attention to exhaust emissions and tyre condition after prolonged inactivity.
