1960 MORRIS MINOR1.1L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent test conducted in May 2017 at 14,408 miles passed with no defects, indicating the car was in a passing condition at that time. However, the absence of any records for the past nine years means the current roadworthiness status cannot be verified, and the mechanical condition has likely deteriorated due to prolonged inactivity or minimal use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 66 years old, averaging roughly 218 miles per year. Between May 2014 and May 2017, the car covered only 1,278 miles, suggesting it is used only for occasional outings. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related failures in perished seals, seized calipers, and internal corrosion within brake lines and fuel systems that are not cleared by regular operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing specifically on the steering and braking systems due to noted issues in 2016. The tester previously flagged a lift in the near-side steering rack bush and imbalanced rear brakes across the axle. While these were rectified for the June 2016 pass, the age of the vehicle suggests that rubber components in the suspension assembly are likely perished or perished. The modified handbrake lever also requires close scrutiny to ensure it remains reliable and safe under load. Given the long gap since the last MOT, a comprehensive structural check of the chassis and floor pans is essential, as classic vehicles of this era are prone to hidden corrosion when stored for long periods.
