2008 AC Cobra 4.7L Petrol · 62 CSX

The 2008 AC Cobra demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 30 October 2024 at 78,631 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 20 December 2022 at 78,357 miles yielded the same clean result. This consistent pass rate suggests diligent upkeep and the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,368 miles annually. Between the December 2022 and October 2024 tests, the odometer advanced by just 274 miles over nearly two years. Such minimal usage points to prolonged periods of standing rather than regular daily driving, which carries its own implications for component longevity. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged inactivity. Tyres will likely suffer from flat-spotting and perished rubber rather than tread wear. Brake discs may exhibit surface corrosion from lack of use, and calipers could be binding. Suspension bushes and seals can dry out and crack when a vehicle sits idle. A thorough physical inspection of the chassis, brake system, and rubber components is essential to verify their current condition.
