1928 Essex Super 6 5.4L Petrol · BF 7503

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT record. On 15 May 2025, the car passed the inspection with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance profile, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained in a condition that meets the minimum regulatory standards at the time of the test. The mileage data is highly unusual for a vehicle of 98 years' age, with only 4 miles recorded as of the May 2025 test. This near-zero usage pattern suggests the car is kept as a static collector item or museum piece rather than a regularly driven vehicle. While low mileage implies minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension, it also introduces risks associated with long-term storage that a standard MOT test cannot fully capture. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and rubber components, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion and perished materials. The inspector should check for dry rot in tyres, perished brake lines, and perished bushings that may have degraded despite the lack of movement. Given the lack of mileage, the condition of the fuel system and the integrity of the fluids are also critical points to ensure the vehicle remains functional for road use beyond the test certificate.
