CATERHAM SEVEN2007 · 2.3L PETROL

The 2007 Caterham Seven has a very low recorded mileage – 42,525 mi after almost 19 years, which works out to roughly 2,200 mi per year. That figure is well below the average for a car of this age, suggesting either very light, occasional use or long periods of storage. Low mileage can be a positive sign of limited wear, but it also means that rubber seals, hoses and suspension bushings may have aged without much movement, so their condition can be ambiguous. The most recent MOT, carried out on 15 April 2026, was a clean pass with no defects recorded. The only blemish in the history is a single failure on 10 March 2025 for headlamp aim (nearside too high, offside too low). The same date also shows a subsequent pass, indicating the aim was corrected before the re‑test. No other mechanical or safety items have ever been flagged in the MOT records. Overall the trend is stable and arguably improving – the vehicle has consistently passed MOT with no recurring faults, and the earlier headlamp issue appears to have been remedied. There is no evidence of worsening wear on major components such as brakes, suspension or drivetrain. Given the low mileage and the possibility of long idle periods, a buyer should focus on the following checks in person: Inspect the condition of all rubber components – hoses, coolant and brake lines, and suspension bushings – for cracking or hardening.
