1995 TVR GRIFFITH4.0L Petrol

The vehicle exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in the last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-03 assessment at 33,462 miles. The 2019-06-01 failure is notable but lacks defect details, suggesting either a procedural error or a non-technical issue. Since 2023, the car has maintained compliance without advisories, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the absence of recorded defects does not confirm the absence of underlying issues, particularly given the low mileage and potential storage-related degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,462 miles over 31 years equates to an average of 1,079 miles annually, reflecting minimal use. This pattern is evident in the MOT records, where mileage increased by just 109 miles between the 2019-06-06 test (32,682 miles) and the 2023-05-10 test (32,693 miles), spanning nearly four years. Such prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals, even if not flagged in MOTs. The sparse data from 2019 to 2023 raises questions about the vehicle’s usage history and potential exposure to corrosion or fluid degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and age. Suspension components, including bushes and dampers, may require closer scrutiny for dry rot or stiffness from infrequent use. The braking system, though unremarked in MOTs, warrants checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, as static periods can cause corrosion. Additionally, the engine and transmission should be assessed for signs of inactivity, such as sticky valves or degraded fluids, which may not appear in MOT records but could impact performance.
