1991 Morgan 4/4 1.6L Petrol · J706 BUY

The 1991 Morgan 4/4 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 March 2025 at 13,242 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes stretching back to 19 June 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year MOT record, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA inspection thresholds throughout this period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle. Between 19 June 2021 at 13,148 miles and 21 March 2025 at 13,242 miles the odometer advanced just 94 miles, averaging under 25 miles per year across that window. Earlier gaps are similarly minimal: 13,156 miles recorded on 16 August 2022 and 13,180 miles on 6 June 2023. Such figures confirm long-term light use or extended storage rather than active daily driving, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps between tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points before purchase. Morgan's separate chassis and ash-framed bodywork are prone to hidden rot where the MOT tester cannot easily see, and a clean pass at 13,000 miles does not certify freedom from underlying rust in box sections or outriggers. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers on a car this age may have hardened or seized through disuse even where the test found no binding or excessive wear. Given the spotless history and minimal mileage, previous keepers clearly prioritised preservation over use. The absence of recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or brake discs suggests basic consumables were renewed as needed. Prospective owners should budget for perishable rubber and fluid renewal simply from age, not from recorded neglect.
