1935 ALVIS FIREBIRD SA13.221.3L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 2 July 2025 at 4,016 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the results of the previous four annual inspections. This consistency suggests that the vehicle is maintained to a high standard and meets all safety and emissions requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 44 miles per year. Between April 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 708 miles, moving from 3,308 to 4,016 miles. A more notable gap exists between February 2021 and April 2022, where the mileage remained static at 3,308 miles, indicating the vehicle likely sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of perished seals, seized brake components, and internal corrosion of braking surfaces due to lack of regular operation. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to long-term storage. Although the MOT record shows no advisories, the buyer must verify the condition of rubber hoses, fuel lines, and tyre sidewalls for of dry rot or degradation. Given the age of the Alvis, a thorough check of the chassis structural integrity is essential to identify hidden corrosion that a standard MOT inspection might overlook. Furthermore, testing the brake fluid condition and the movement of the calipers is vital to ensure that the low usage has not led to internal pitting or seized pistons within the braking system.
