1958 Morris Minor 1.1L Petrol · 299 XVF

The Morris Minor presents a roadworthy status based on the most recent DVSA test. In the June 2022 examination at 51,890 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or recurring mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The single clean pass suggests the keeper addressed any prior issues or the car saw careful preservation. Recorded mileage stands at 51,890 miles against a 1958 build, an average of roughly 763 miles per year. The June 2022 test shows identical mileage to the figure quoted for the vehicle today, four years on, implying the car has covered negligible distance since and likely spent extended periods stationary. The MOT dataset contains only this one entry, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be assessed beyond the sparse but clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear test. Long standing invites perished rubber components: suspension bushes, brake hoses, and engine mounts degrade without use. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns in 2022, yet eight years of age since that pass demand fresh checks on chassis outriggers, floor pan, and door pillars for rust. Verify the braking system for seized cylinders or binding calipers from disuse, and confirm tyre sidewalls lack cracking. The low annual mileage points to gentle historic use, but a single historic pass offers limited assurance on current condition after the lapse since June 2022.
