1966 Sunbeam Tiger 4.7L Petrol · JUL 391D

The 2024‑05‑21 MOT at 60,185 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The earlier 2023‑06‑16 test at 60,147 miles also showed no recorded faults, so the condition has not deteriorated between tests. At 60 years of age, the 60,185 miles represent roughly 1,003 miles per year, a markedly low usage rate that suggests the Sunbeam Tiger has been driven sparingly or has spent long periods stationary. The 38‑mile increase over the 11‑month interval between the two tests demonstrates minimal annual mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or loss of damping, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion despite the clean MOT, and scrutinise the chassis and body for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. In addition, verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels, and confirm that the exhaust system meets current emission limits, as these consumables may conceal underlying mechanical wear not reflected in the recent MOT.
