The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of clean passes across all documented inspections. The most recent test conducted on 3 July 2025 at 9,799 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency suggests that the vehicle is maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within the required parameters for road legal use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of over 90 years, averaging approximately 102 miles per year. A significant gap in data exists between the March 2017 test at 9,718 miles and the 2019 test at 2,628 miles, suggesting the vehicle sat stationary or underwent a restoration period. However, the record shows a steady increase of 3,876 miles between April 2023 and July 2025. This low usage indicates the car is likely used for occasional fair weather rather than daily commuting, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and suspension bushings. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on the risks associated with long periods of storage rather than mechanical failure. In-person inspection must prioritize the checking of perished rubber components, such as fuel lines, seals, and tyre compounds, which degrade with age regardless of mileage. The buyer should also examine the brake system for internal corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are used infrequently. Structural integrity should be manually verified for hidden rust in the chassis that a standard MOT inspection might not fully expose.
