1968 MG GT2.9L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a clear trend of improving mechanical condition. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 73,099 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the persistent structural and suspension issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a significant shift from the 2017 inspection where the car presented with multiple advisories related to corrosion and suspension play. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 58-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,260 miles per year. There is a notable six-year data gap between July 2017 and September 2023, during which the car covered only 1,225 miles. Since the 2023 test, the vehicle has covered another 1,395 miles. This low usage suggests the car likely sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the settling of suspension rather than mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain. A buyer must focus specifically on the structural integrity of the lowerwork during an inspection. Records from 2015 through 2017 consistently flagged corrosion in the offside inner wing, bulkhead, and castle sills. While the recent tests show no defects, the historical prevalence of these faults requires a thorough check of the repairs to ensure they are structural rather than merely cosmetic. The recurring reports of play in the axle king pins and wheel bearings between 2015 and 2017 also indicate that the front suspension geometry is prone to wear, which should be verified for current stability.
