1972 Triumph Stag 5.0L Petrol · 5 PSN

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend following a previous mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 8,170 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory roadworthiness requirements. This represents a significant improvement over the 2016 failure, suggesting that the identified suspension issues were addressed and rectified by the owner. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low annual usage, averaging approximately 150 miles per year over its 54-year lifespan. Data shows long periods of inactivity, such as the five-year gap between June 2018 and June 2023 where the vehicle covered only 16 miles. Between 2018 and 2025, the car covered 2,537 miles, moving from 5,633 to 8,170 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid stagnation due to stationary periods. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, given the 2016 failure for deteriorated lower suspension arm rubber bushes. Even though recent tests passed, rubber components on a classic vehicle are prone to dry rot and cracking regardless of mileage. The inspection should also focus on structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and floor pans for corrosion, common failure points for this model when stored for long periods. Additionally, the brake system requires a thorough check to ensure calipers have not seized or developed internal corrosion from the long intervals between uses.
