TVR GRIFFITH1992 · 4.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset, showing a clear trend of improving mechanical condition. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 May 2026 at 79,069 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous minor issues have been addressed. This is a significant improvement over the 2023 test where minor component wear was noted, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in resolving identified mechanical faults. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 34-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per annum. There is a notable period of inactivity between March 2021 and August 2023, where the car covered only 60 miles in over two years. However, the usage has increased recently, with 1,406 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2025 tests, and another 1,270 miles since. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based seals and fluids due to lack of thermal cycling seen in high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and the rear differential assembly. The history shows recurring issues with the nearside front, specifically a wheel bearing play in 2019 and a track rod end defect in 2023; while these passed the latest test, a check for remaining bushings and ball joints is vital. The slight oil leak from the rear differential noted in 2021 and 2023 requires a visual check to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak that risks internal failure.
