1996 MORGAN 4/41.8L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-02 assessment at 31,464 miles. All prior tests from 2020 to 2024 show similar stability, with no advisories or failures. This suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a standard that meets legal requirements, though the absence of recorded issues does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond compliance. The mileage of 31,464 miles over 30 years equates to approximately 1,049 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT records show minimal mileage progression, with only 199 miles added between 2020 and 2022, followed by 1,064 miles by 2024, and 5 miles in 2025. Such sparse usage could accelerate wear on static components like rubber seals, suspension bushes, and battery life, even if dynamic systems remain functional. A buyer should verify the condition of age-sensitive elements, including corrosion in the chassis or exhaust system, which may not appear in MOT records. Suspension components, such as coil springs and bushings, should be inspected for fatigue, while the braking system’s calipers and discs may require closer scrutiny for binding or uneven wear. Electrical systems and fluid levels, potentially affected by long-term storage, warrant attention to ensure they remain operational.
