1921 HUMBER 2.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 20 July 2024 at 35,142 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a high level of mechanical preservation and suggests the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and emissions requirements without immediate need for remedial work. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 335 miles per year over its century-plus lifespan. However, there is a significant fifteen-year gap between the April 2009 test and the July 2024 test. This long interval between records suggests the car is likely kept in storage or used only for occasional events rather than daily commuting. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of perished rubber seals, fluid degradation, and seized components due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection must focus on components affected by long-term standing rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork for hidden corrosion, as vintage vehicles are prone to moisture-related rust. Close attention is required regarding the brake lines for leaks or perished hoses, and the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot. Given the low usage, the condition of the tyres and rubber belts is equally critical to ensure they have not become brittle with age despite having significant tread depth.
