1967 MORRIS MINOR 10001.1L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 June 2024 at 84,658 miles. The tester recorded only minor wear on the steering column top bearing and on the off‑side front lower axle swivel pins and bushes. The same items were noted in the 2021 and 2019 tests, with no new defects appearing, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Across 59 years the odometer reads 84,658 miles, roughly 1,400 miles per year – well below average usage. From the March 2018 test (83,111 miles) to the June 2024 test the car added just 1,547 miles, suggesting long periods of light use or storage. No rapid mileage jumps are evident, which aligns with the low‑wear profile observed in the MOT record. A prospective buyer should examine the steering column top bearing for any excess play or binding and check the condition of the fibre bush that supports it. The off‑side front lower axle swivel pins and their bushes merit close inspection for looseness, corrosion or progressive wear. A visual survey of the front suspension – bushes, coil springs and chassis rails – will confirm whether the slight wear noted in the MOTs has remained contained. Although brakes and tyres were not flagged, reviewing brake discs, pads and tyre tread for age‑related degradation is advisable before purchase.
