1991 Daimler Double SIX 5.3L Petrol · H955 JCV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a brief mechanical setback. The most recent test in June 2025 at 107,107 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This follows a sequence of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet minimum legal standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old Daimler, averaging approximately 3,060 miles per year. Between April 2023 and June 2025, the car covered only 1,248 miles, confirming a pattern of light use or seasonal storage rather than high mechanical wear on the drivetrain or engine. While low mileage generally preserves internal engine components, it often increases the risk of rubber degradation, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion from inactivity. The consistent intervals between tests suggest the car is kept on a regular inspection schedule despite the low annual distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber-based components, as the MOT record does not capture deep-seated corrosion or chassis rust. Given the low mileage, the suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for cracking or perished perished due to age rather than friction. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or pitted discs, as stationary vehicles that sit for long periods frequently suffer from surface oxidation. The failure in April 2023 lacked listed defects in this summary, but the immediate pass thereafter suggests a minor fault that was rectified quickly.
