1993 TVR Chimaera 4.0L Petrol · K167 FLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 2,702 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows two consecutive passes in December 2024 and December 2023, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 33 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 82 miles per year. A significant data anomaly appears in October 2023, where the vehicle was recorded at 17,300 miles during a failed test, only for the mileage to drop back to 1,730 miles by November 2023. This suggests a clerical recording error by the tester rather than a mechanical issue or odometer rollback. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the car covered only 972 miles, confirming it spends the majority of its time stationary. Long periods of inactivity pose specific risks that the MOT record cannot fully capture. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, often perish due to age rather than wear when a car is stored for long intervals. The absence of recorded advisories over the last three years is positive, but the low usage pattern necessitates a check for fuel system degradation and oil sludge. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, as the lack of road use can sometimes mask moisture traps in the frame. Verify that the engine reaches operating temperature and that all electrical systems remain functional after prolonged dormancy.
