1968 MORRIS OXFORD1.8L Petrol

The Morris Oxford presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2025 at 74,450 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 74,450 against a 1968 build, averaging roughly 1,284 miles per year. The tests confirm very low annual use: 72,700 miles on 29 March 2022, 73,091 on 15 March 2023, 73,807 on 18 March 2024, and 74,450 on 25 February 2025. That is only 1,750 miles across three years. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglect, but such low standing mileage often hides perished rubber components and dormant corrosion not caught in a static test. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related stiffness given the car's 58-year life. The tester logged no structural integrity issues, yet older British saloons commonly develop chassis rail and sill corrosion out of sight. Exhaust emissions and brake disc condition passed, but verify in person that long idle periods have not caused seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres. Given the flawless MOT run, previous owners likely stored the car well and covered only short local journeys. Physical inspection should focus on hidden rust, degraded hoses, and whether the low mileage reflects careful preservation rather than extended disuse without proper winter protection.
