1962 Triumph TR4 2.1L Petrol · 159 XUH

The 2008 Triumph TR4 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent DVSA test on 19 May 2025 at 15,431 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of fault-free results. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisories across the available record. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally light use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The TR4 covered just 2,221 miles between the 24 May 2022 test at 10,126 miles and the 19 May 2025 test at 15,431 miles, averaging roughly 740 miles per year. Each annual test shows steady low accumulation: 11,434 miles in May 2023, 13,210 miles in May 2024. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglect or abrupt usage spikes, though long standing periods between runs remain plausible given the totals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and outriggers, as MOT passes on low-mileage classics do not certify absence of hidden rust. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for perishing from inactivity rather than wear. Verify the exhaust emissions and fuel system condition given the light running cycle. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the history to direct targeted scrutiny. The absence of advisories across all four tests suggests conscientious storage, yet pre-purchase examination by a Triumph specialist remains prudent given the car's age and period of low use.
