1970 MORRIS MINOR1.1L PETROL

The 1970 Morris Minor has a documented MOT history from 2011, with a failed test in March 2011 and a subsequent pass in August 2011. Both entries highlight recurring mechanical and safety issues, including corrosion, brake imbalances, and electrical faults. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 64,520 miles, at 56 years old, equates to roughly 1,152 miles per year—extremely low for its age. This suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods or driven infrequently, which can accelerate wear on electrical systems, seals, and corrosion-prone components. The 2011 MOTs reveal a pattern of unresolved issues. Both tests noted heavy corrosion on the floorpan, chassis, and suspension, along with brake pipe securing problems and front track rod end play. Brake imbalances were flagged in both entries, indicating potential long-term neglect of the braking system. Electrical faults, such as non-functional horns, indicators, and stop lamps, reappeared, pointing to possible wiring degradation or poor maintenance. The seat belt damage and split gaiters further suggest ongoing issues with safety-critical components. No recent MOT data is available beyond 2011, making it impossible to assess whether the vehicle’s condition has worsened, stabilized, or improved.
