CATERHAM SEVEN2012 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 recorded two steering rack gaiters as damaged or deteriorated, but both were noted to still prevent dirt ingress. This is the only defect recorded in the last four years of MOT history. No other issues were highlighted in earlier tests, which all resulted in "PASSED" with no defects. The vehicle has shown consistent compliance with safety standards over this period. The pattern of MOT results indicates a stable condition. No recurring or escalating issues have been documented, and the only recent defect was minor, with no functional impact reported. The absence of defects in five consecutive MOTs (2022–2026) suggests the vehicle has not developed significant mechanical or safety problems despite its age. The recorded mileage of 21,207 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 1,515 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. This could indicate light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but could also lead to issues with seals, gaiters, or fluids if the vehicle has not been regularly driven.
