1988 Bedford Pick UP 1.0L Petrol · A21 RCN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 9 February 2026 at 81,185 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and remains mechanically sound. The mileage is very low for a 38 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,136 miles per year. The data shows a steady, low-volume usage pattern. Between 3 September 2021 at 77,726 miles and 9 February 2026 at 81,185 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,459 miles over nearly five years. This suggests the Bedford has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very light, local duties. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage and the age of the chassis necessitate a physical inspection for age-related deterioration. Buyers should specifically check for corrosion on the chassis rails and floor pans, as structural rust often develops during periods of inactivity regardless of mileage. Inspect the rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for perishing or cracking caused by age rather than wear. Check for signs of brake caliper seizing or fuel system gumming, which are common issues for vehicles that do not see regular, long-distance use. The lack of recorded defects suggests a meticulous owner, but a manual check of the oil and coolant for contamination is advised given the low usage rates.
