1991 Morgan 4/4 1.6L Petrol · H990 HEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 11 June 2025 at 19,094 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of brake-related failures. While the car failed the May 2025 test due to a binding nearside rear service brake and poor parking brake efficiency, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that these specific mechanical issues were addressed by the previous owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 546 miles per year. There is a significant six-year gap between the June 2019 test and the May 2025 test, during which the car covered only eight miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits for long periods or is used very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, stationary periods often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and internal fluid passage issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with imbalance and binding. The 2019 and 2025 failures highlight inadequate brake effort, front axle imbalance, and binding rear calipers. These symptoms are common in vehicles that sit, as brake fluid absorbs moisture and pistons can seize. Given the age of the Morgan, the inspection should also focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and body for corrosion, as low-mileage status does not protect against rust if stored in a damp environment.
