1991 MORGAN 4/41.9L PETROL

Most recent MOT outcome The latest MOT on record is from 27 May 2015, when the 1991 Morgan 4/4 passed at 64 611 mi with no defects noted. That test is now more than a year old, so the current road‑worthiness cannot be confirmed without a fresh inspection. Recurring mechanical pattern The MOT history shows a cluster of issues around the front suspension and steering in 2014: both front ball‑joint dust covers were reported as damaged or deteriorated, and the off‑side steering‑box arm ball joint was split and leaking grease. In 2013 the vehicle failed due to uneven rear‑brake application, a weak off‑side rear parking‑brake lever, and excessive carbon‑monoxide emissions. Apart from those entries, the 2012 and 2013 passes recorded no defects. Trend analysis The pattern suggests that wear on suspension/steering bushings and brake components has been a recurring concern. After the 2013 failure, the 2015 MOT shows a clean sheet, which could indicate that the noted problems were remedied, or that they were not re‑tested. With no further MOT data after 2015, it is impossible to say whether the condition has remained stable, improved, or deteriorated since then. The lack of recent testing is a red flag and warrants a thorough current assessment. Mileage versus age At roughly 1 846 mi yr⁻¹, the Morgan’s mileage is very low for a 35‑year‑old vehicle.
