1984 TVR Tasmin 2.8L Petrol · B367 TNW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2024 at 46,755 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This represents an improvement over the September 2016 test where an oil leak was identified, suggesting that the mechanical issue was addressed and rectified prior to subsequent examinations. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 42-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per annum. Between 2019 and 2024, the car covered only 6 miles, reflecting a recorded jump from 46,749 to 46,755 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle is likely stored seasonally or used sporadically rather than driven regularly. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid-related issues due to periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis sills, as low-mileage classic vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion that MOT tests do not always detect. The lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes or brake lines in the record suggests a well-maintained example, but the age of the vehicle necessitates checking for perished hoses or seized brake calipers. Given the previous oil leak noted in 2016, a thorough check of the engine seals and gaskets is necessary to ensure no new leaks have emerged during the long intervals of stationary use.
