1966 MORRIS 1.1L PETROL

The MOT history for this vehicle is severely outdated, with the last recorded test occurring in January 2012 at 61,549 miles. Given the current date of June 2026, there is no official evidence of roadworthiness for the past fourteen years. The final available data shows a period of significant mechanical decline between 2007 and 2012. While the vehicle passed in May 2008, the subsequent tests revealed critical failures related to the structural integrity and braking system, suggesting a period of neglected maintenance before the last recorded entry. At 61,549 miles over 60 years, the vehicle has covered an average of approximately 1,000 miles per year. This low usage often indicates the car has sat for long periods, which frequently leads to degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion. The record shows the vehicle moved only 117 miles between September 2011 and January 2012, further suggesting it was not being driven regularly. The lack of testing for over a decade means that any current mechanical state or the presence of new corrosion is entirely unverified. The technical data highlights persistent structural issues. In 2007, the tester identified excessive corrosion affecting the strength of the chassis and body mountings, which is a primary concern. By 2011, this had persisted with reports of corroded spring mountings and floor corrosion outside prescribed areas. Although the 2012 test noted that the underbody was undersealed—preventing an accurate assessment of the metal—the recurring failures indicate a high risk of hidden structural rot that likely worsened beneath the protective coating. Braking performance also showed a trend of instability. The September 2011 test recorded multiple severe faults, including brake pedal creep, uneven application across the axles, and a parking brake that fell far below requirements. By the final January 2012 test, the front brake pipes were flagged as slightly corroded. Given the age of the vehicle and the long gap in professional inspections, a comprehensive mechanical survey of the braking lines, suspension joints, and chassis strength is mandatory to determine if the car is safe for road use.
