1998 IMPERIAL VISCOUNTDiesel

The 1998 Imperial Viscount remains roadworthy, as confirmed by the March 2026 MOT at 13,885 miles which recorded no defects. The consecutive passes in March 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 show a stable maintenance pattern with no evidence of worsening or improving conditions. At 28 years old the vehicle has accumulated only about 496 miles per year, a figure that reflects light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 7,878 miles in March 2022 to 13,885 miles in March 2026, with annual increases of roughly 1,500 miles each year, indicating regular driving without prolonged gaps. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody. While the MOT history suggests diligent upkeep, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the absence of hidden corrosion, tyre tread depth, and fluid condition before purchase.
