LAND ROVER 1011977 · 3.5L PETROL

The 1977 Land Rover 101 has a limited MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2014-08-16, 12 years ago. At that time, it showed slight corrosion on both rear body panels, a minor exhaust leak, and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The prior MOT in 2013-08-30 was passed with no defects. This suggests the vehicle has not been regularly tested, raising concerns about its current condition. The low mileage of 10,632 miles over 49 years equates to roughly 217 miles per year, far below average for a vehicle of this age. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which carry risks. Vehicles with low mileage may suffer from seized components, degraded rubber, or battery issues due to infrequent operation, while corrosion risks persist if the car has been stored in damp or coastal environments. The 2014 MOT identified recurring issues: body corrosion and an exhaust leak. These are not inherently severe but highlight potential neglect. Corrosion on rear body panels suggests exposure to moisture or road salt, which could worsen over time.
