Mechanical Assessment
This 1965 Morris Moke shows a very low mileage of 31,545, which, at roughly 517 miles per year, suggests the vehicle has spent significant time in storage rather than being driven regularly. While low mileage can be attractive, in a vehicle of this age, it often points to issues caused by long periods of inactivity, such as rubber degradation and component seizure. The MOT history reveals a concerning and persistent trend regarding the tyres. Every inspection from 2024 through 2026 has flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing. This is a classic indicator of rubber that has aged and hardened due to lack of use or poor storage conditions, rather than wear from high mileage. Despite these repeated advisories, the owner has failed to replace them, which is a significant safety concern. The mechanical condition appears to be in a state of neglect rather than active deterioration. The recurring tyre issues, combined with recent failures for basic items like a missing number plate lamp, a faulty horn, and an insecure exhaust, suggest that the vehicle is not being maintained to a high standard. While the steering rack gaiter issue is currently minor, it is a new development that requires attention before it leads to more expensive steering component failure. Given the age and the evidence of long-term storage, you should approach this purchase with caution.
