AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The TVR Chimaera presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 14 September 2023 at 31,997 miles returned a pass with no advisories recorded, and the prior test on 3 June 2021 at 31,925 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern across the available history. The recorded mileage of 31,997 over roughly 31 years equates to about 1,032 miles per year, confirming very light use for a 1995 sports car. Between June 2021 and September 2023 the odometer advanced only 72 miles, indicating the car stood largely unused or covered minimal local distance in that window. The two-test record is sparse but entirely clean, with no consumable wear or mechanical flags raised at either examination. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as a TVR of this age with long standing periods is prone to chassis rust and degraded suspension bushes even when MOT tests show clear. The near-dormant mileage means brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses may have suffered from moisture ingress or binding through inactivity rather than wear. Verify the condition of tyres, brake fluid, and fuel system components before road use, since a 72-mile two-year gap suggests basic fluid changes and consumable rotation were likely skipped despite the clean test outcomes.
