1990 PANTHER KALLISTA I2.9L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 May 2026 at 94,321 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that avoids the accumulation of mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,620 miles per year. Between July 2021 and May 2026, the car covered only 2,512 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of dry storage. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests shows a period of only 718 miles driven over two years. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber hoses, perished seals, and fluid breakdown due to the lack of movement. Given the clean MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of rubber components, as the MOT testing process does not always detect deep-seated corrosion. Inspect for signs of corrosion in the sills and mounting points where moisture may develop while the car sits stationary. Additionally, check the brake calipers for seizing and tyres for cracks, as low mileage often leads to flat spotting and hardening when not used for extended periods.
