1972 Triumph TR6 2.5L Petrol · RJT 400K

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a stable trend of unaddressed mechanical wear. The most recent test on March 27 2026 at 95,711 miles resulted in a pass despite a persistent oil leak that has appeared in every inspection for four years. While the tester classified the leak as not excessive, its recurrence suggests it is a known feature of the engine or gearbox that the current owner has not to prioritise for repair. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 54-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,772 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 565 miles, moving from 95,146 to 95,711 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the car is likely stored for long periods or used only occasionally, which often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and seals despite the low overall mechanical mileage on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front-end assembly. The offside front wheel bearing has been flagged for slight play consistently from 2022 through 2024, and a nearside front lower suspension bush was noted as slightly worn in 2024. These recurring advis have not been rectified over several years, indicating that minor mechanical wear is being tolerated. Given the age of the Triumph and the low mileage, the buyer should also check for perished brake lines and seized calipers, as these are common failure points for vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
