1936 MG 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent recorded data. Following a clean test on 24 July 2017 at 2,229 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully rectified, though the lack of any MOT records for the past nine years means the current legal and safety state of the vehicle remains unverified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 25 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, minimal usage trend from 2,148 miles in June 2009 to 2,229 miles in 2017. This suggests the car is likely kept as a collector item or for occasional use rather than a daily driver. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber seals, hoses, and fluid chemistry which are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the components that previously showed weakness during the 2008 test. The tester originally flagged slight play in all four wheel bearings and a slightly grabbing nearside rear brake, alongside an exhaust leak and an oil leak. Given the significant time gap since the last inspection, it is vital to check for seized brake calipers, perished brake lines, and dried out bearings. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis should be scrutinized for hidden corrosion, as surface rust is the primary risk for vehicles of this era regardless of how few miles they have covered.
