2000 TVR Chimaera 4.5L Petrol · X771 AJH

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 May 2026 at 29,208 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive clean passes dating back to April 2022, indicating a car that is maintained to a very high standard. The mileage is remarkably low for a twenty six year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,123 miles per year. The usage pattern is steady and predictable, with the odometer moving from 26,379 miles in April 2022 to 29,208 miles by May 2026. This gradual accumulation suggests the car is driven regularly enough to prevent mechanical seizure but sparingly enough to avoid significant wear on the drivetrain. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage and the age of the chassis necessitate a targeted physical inspection. Long periods of light use can lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which may not trigger an MOT failure until they fully rupture. A buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as the DVSA tests often overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Attention should also be paid to the braking system. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to inactivity. Given the lack of advisories regarding tyre tread or brake wear over the last four years, the current components may be aged even if they are not worn. Verifying the date codes on the tyres and checking for fluid leaks is recommended to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from the effects of standing.
