2001 Caterham Seven (S3) 1.6L Petrol · Y872 YPX

The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years, with no defects recorded in any of the four most recent MOT tests. The most recent test on July 19, 2025, at 22,394 miles confirmed the car's compliance with roadworthiness standards. The consistent passing of all tests suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained by its previous owners, with no recurring issues to indicate a worsening trend. The mileage pattern shows a low annual average of approximately 896 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage increased by only 199 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and by 198 miles between the May 2023 and May 2022 tests. This suggests that the vehicle has been used sparingly or has spent significant periods standing still. The low mileage could indicate lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, which may have contributed to the vehicle's well-preserved condition. Given the stable maintenance trend and the low mileage, a buyer should focus on inspecting the vehicle's suspension components, including the bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are common areas for wear over time. Additionally, the brakes should be thoroughly checked for any signs of wear or potential issues, such as binding calipers or worn brake discs. The structural integrity of the vehicle, particularly for any signs of corrosion or rust, should also be assessed, as the low mileage may have allowed such issues to develop undetected. Finally, the condition of the tyres and wiper blades should be verified, as these are consumable items that may have been overlooked in the low-mileage scenario.
