1988 Triumph Stag 3.0L Petrol · NRX 114K

The Triumph Stag holds a valid pass from the 7 May 2025 test at 52,107 miles, and the upkeep trend since the February 2022 examination is stable with no mechanical defects or advisories ever recorded. The DVSA log also shows a fail on that same 7 May 2025 date and a prior fail on 12 February 2024, both with no defects listed, indicating administrative or non-mechanical rejections rather than worsening condition. A subsequent pass on 13 February 2024 at 51,929 miles confirms the car cleared required standards without rectification. At roughly 38 years old, the car displays 52,107 recorded miles, an average of about 1,371 miles per year. The available MOT history is narrow, spanning only the February 2022 to May 2025 period with five entries. The odometer moved just 777 miles between the 11 February 2022 pass at 51,152 miles and the 13 February 2024 pass at 51,929 miles. A further 178 miles accrued by the May 2025 tests. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage or light recreational use, with no rapid wear cycles evident in the data. Despite the clean record, the buyer must physically inspect chassis structural integrity and suspension bushes for corrosion and perishing, as a 1988 convertible stored frequently can hide rust unseen by MOT testers. The tester never flagged brake discs, calipers or exhaust emissions, but standing vehicles often develop binding rear brakes and degraded tyres; a thorough road test should confirm freedom from such faults. Previous owners kept statutory testing compliant, yet the sparse mileage implies limited opportunity to expose latent mechanical weaknesses in drivetrain and steering components.
