Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage enthusiast vehicle. The MOT history is notably clean, showing minimal issues over the last four years.
Given the low mileage of 28,026 miles, your primary focus should be on how the vehicle has been stored and whether it has undergone regular oil changes despite the low usage. Low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from dried seals or age-related rubber degradation, so check all hoses and gaskets for signs of perishing.
When negotiating, ask for any documentation regarding servicing, as the MOT history alone does not confirm mechanical maintenance. Because this is a niche model, ensure you check for any specialist parts availability or specific maintenance requirements that differ from standard road cars.
With a small 998cc petrol engine, this Spyder GS should fall into a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it economical for occasional use. Fuel economy is likely to be efficient due to the lightweight nature of the vehicle, though driving style will impact this significantly.
Maintenance costs for a niche vehicle can sometimes be higher due to parts availability, but the low mileage suggests fewer mechanical repairs will be needed in the short term. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be relatively modest if used as a seasonal vehicle.
While the MOT history is clean, the failure in November 2025 (at 28,026 miles) should be investigated to understand what the specific defect was, even though the record shows it was passed shortly after. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often have tyres with plenty of tread but old rubber.
Check the electrical systems and lights, as well as the condition of the chassis and any exposed components. Given the 2008 registration, look for any signs of corrosion that might not be caught in a standard MOT but are common in older, niche vehicles.
This 2008 Spyder GS presents with significantly low mileage for its age, having covered just over 28,000 miles since its first registration in September 2008. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in November 2025 which was rectified immediately. The vehicle's yellow paintwork and 998cc petrol engine suggest a niche, lightweight motoring experience.
