1964 Austin Healey Unknown 2.9L Petrol · PTU 426B

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 6 May 2026 at 62,002 miles which passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a trend of clean passes over the last several years, indicating that the vehicle consistently meets minimum safety standards. The absence of recurring mechanical failures suggests that the primary components have been maintained to prevent immediate failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 62-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per annum. Between November 2019 and May 2026, the car covered only 1,706 miles, with just 502 miles recorded in the three years prior to the 2023 test. This low usage suggests the car is likely kept for enthusiasts or stored for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown which are not always captured during an MOT inspection. While the digital record is clean, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis for rust, as vintage Austin Heleys are prone to hidden corrosion that may not trigger a failure until it becomes structurally structural. The cracked steering wheel noted in November 2019 was a minor cosmetic-safety defect that appears to have been addressed. Given the low mileage, specific attention should be paid to the brake calipers for seizing and the suspension bushings to ensure they have not perished or perished due to inactivity.
