DAIMLER HEARSE1991 · 4.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean test record across its recent history. The most recent inspection on 09 June 2025 at 105,018 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just six days prior at 105,017 miles. This sequencing suggests a minor, easily rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or light adjustment, which was addressed immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant period of stagnation between March 2022 and June 2023, where the odometer remained at 104,867 miles for over a year. Since then, the vehicle has covered only about 150 miles over the course of three years. While this low mileage indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of perished rubber components, fluid degradation, and brake seizing due to infrequent use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis, as low-mileage classic vehicles are prone to hidden corrosion that does not show through mileage alone. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushings, brake lines, and tyres which may be aged or flat from long stationary periods. Given the vehicle's age and weight as a hearse, the floor pans and mounting points must be checked for structural rust to ensure the frame remains sound despite the clean MOT history.
