1990 TVR S22.9L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 63,131 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and kept in a ready-to-drive condition. The mileage is very low for a 36-year-old car, averaging roughly 1,754 miles per year. Between 22 December 2022 and 4 December 2025, the odometer moved from 61,292 to 63,131 miles. This represents a modest increase of 1,839 miles over nearly three years. Such low usage suggests the car is likely a weekend or enthusiast vehicle rather than a daily driver, which typically preserves the interior and drivetrain. The absence of recorded defects across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record shows a failure on 18 December 2024 at 62,553 miles, it was resolved and passed a mile later on the same day with no defects listed, suggesting a minor administrative error or a trivial fix. There are no recurring mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake deterioration in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, dried-out suspension bushings, and brake calipers that may seize from inactivity. Check for chassis corrosion in hidden areas, as the MOT test is a snapshot and does not always capture deep structural rust on older TVR frames. Verify the age of the tyres, as they may be legally treaded but chemically expired due to the low annual mileage.
