1973 MG B1.8L Petrol

The vehicle has maintained a generally stable roadworthiness status, passing all MOT tests since 2017. However, the most recent test in July 2025 noted oil leaks at the front and rear of the engine and rear axle, which have been consistent issues since 2023. The recorded mileage of 19,250 miles over approximately 53 years equates to a very low average of around 363 miles per year, suggesting infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2017 test at 11,891 miles and the 2022 test at 13,994 miles, indicating either a period of disuse or irregular maintenance. The subsequent tests show steady, albeit minimal, mileage increases. Buyers should inspect the suspension components, particularly the nearside and offside front lower suspension bushes, which were noted as slightly worn in 2022. Additionally, the persistent oil leaks warrant attention, as they could indicate seal degradation or other internal issues. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, structural rust should also be checked, especially around the chassis and body panels, as this can be a common issue with older vehicles.
