1947 STUDEBAKER PICKUP3.5L Petrol

The Studebaker presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its available MOT history. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 30 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the vehicle remains structurally and mechanically sound on paper. No advisories or failures appear in any entry from 2014 through 2025. Recorded mileage sits at just 30 miles against a 79-year lifespan, equating to negligible annual use. The DVSA log shows passes on 17 May 2014, 11 April 2015, 11 June 2018, 14 June 2019, and 16 June 2025, with the odometer unchanged at 30 miles throughout. A six-year gap separates the 2019 and 2025 tests, implying the truck stood unused for extended periods rather than accumulating gentle running miles. Given the spotless record, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues to chase. The absence of faults reflects either meticulous storage or simply that the tester found nothing requiring attention on a rarely moved vehicle. In person, the buyer should still scrutinise structural integrity for hidden rust on the chassis and cab, check brake calipers for binding after long dormancy, and verify tyre condition given rubber perishes with age irrespective of miles. The low mileage masks time-based decay that MOT sheets cannot capture.
