1972 Triumph TR6 2.4L Petrol · FBH 240K

The Triumph TR6 demonstrates a clean and stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a successful pass on October 25, 2023 at a recorded mileage of 8,909 miles. This positive outcome immediately followed a failure two days prior on October 23, 2023 at the exact same mileage, which points to a minor administrative refusal rather than an entrenched mechanical defect. The rapid turnaround to a pass indicates that any initial testing discrepancy was promptly resolved by the custodian. The vehicle displays an exceptionally sparse MOT history containing only these two consecutive October 2023 entries, leaving the vast majority of its fifty-four-year existence unrepresented in the digital DVSA database due to its historic vehicle exemption status. The recorded reading of 8,909 miles confirms extremely limited usage, averaging roughly 165 miles per year over its lifetime. Such ultra-low mileage strongly implies prolonged periods of storage or restricted seasonal driving rather than continuous deployment. A physical inspection must account for the risks inherent in a classic sports car that has spent extended intervals standing idle. The prospective buyer should thoroughly examine the chassis frame, sills, and floor pans for structural corrosion, as older Triumph box-section chassis are prone to hidden rust accumulation. Furthermore, rubber components such as suspension bushes, brake hoses, and fuel lines require close scrutiny, as perishing and cracking frequently occur when vehicles experience minimal annual mileage. Finally, checking the braking system for seized or binding calipers caused by long periods of inactivity will ensure the mechanical health matches the clean test record.
