Our Verdict
A highly attractive example of a C6 Corv
Given the extremely low mileage of 22,423 miles over 20 years, the primary focus should be on the effects of inactivity. Check the service history to confirm that oil and filters were changed at regular intervals regardless of the low annual mileage, as old oil can degrade over time.
Verify the provenance of the vehicle and ensure all import documentation is in order. Negotiate based on the age of the consumables; while the MOTs are clean, components like tyres and belts can perish due to age even if the mileage remains low.
The 5.7L V8 engine will result in high fuel consumption and significant annual road tax. Insurance for a high-performance red sports car will likely place it in a high insurance group, increasing the fixed annual costs.
Typical maintenance for a vehicle of this specification involves specialised parts which may need to be sourced from the US. The estimated annual running cost is high, driven primarily by fuel, tax, and insurance premiums.
Despite the MOT history showing no defects from 2022 to 2026, you should physically inspect the tyres for 'flat spots' or sidewall cracking (perishing) caused by long periods of standing. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion that can occur in low-use vehicles.
Inspect the rubber seals and bushings throughout the chassis for signs of drying or cracking. Finally, test all electrical components and the air conditioning system to ensure they have remained functional despite the limited usage recorded.
This 2005 Red Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 5.7L petrol engine and has covered just 22,423 miles. The MOT history from 2022 to 2026 is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and no defects or advisories recorded. It presents as a rare, low-mileage example of this American sports car in the UK market.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Chevrolet Corvette, but this specific vehicle has a clean record over the last five tests.
