CATERHAM SEVEN2007 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT, dated 15 July 2025, was a clean pass at 11 480 miles. The only defect recorded in the recent past was a failure on 9 July 2025, when the off‑side rear direction indicator and the rear fog lamp were both out. Both issues are electrical and were corrected before the next test, as the subsequent MOT shows no defects. Across the six‑year span of the MOT record there are no recurring mechanical problems. The only non‑electrical note is a slight cracking in the sidewalls of the rear tyre reported in 2015; that was a one‑off observation and the tyre has presumably been replaced since then, given the lack of further tyre‑related comments. Overall the trend is stable – the vehicle has passed its last two tests without any safety‑related defects. At 11 480 miles after 19 years the car averages about 600 miles per year, which is very low for a Caterham Seven. Such mileage suggests the car has been driven sparingly or stored for long periods. Low usage can mean reduced wear on wear‑items such as brakes, clutch and suspension, but it can also hide age‑related deterioration (rubber, seals, corrosion) that may not be evident until the car is driven more regularly. For a buyer, the priority checks are: - Verify that the rear direction indicator and rear fog lamp are now functioning correctly and that the wiring is sound.
