1999 Caterham 98 Super Light 1.8L Petrol · C7 NMD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a notably clean recent history. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 31,719 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a high standard recently. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 27-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,175 miles per year. The data shows a period of minimal use between April 2022 and April 2023, where the car covered only four miles. However, a more recent increase in activity is noted between April 2024 and August 2024, where the vehicle clocked 629 miles in just four months. This low annual mileage suggests the car is likely used for seasonal leisure rather than as a daily driver, which can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or fluid-related issues. A buyer should pay close attention to the April 2023 advisory where both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for being worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. While these were rectified prior to subsequent tests, the wear pattern indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require physical verification. Given the age of the Caterham, a thorough inspection of the chassis is essential to check for structural corrosion at the mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the effects of surface rust if stored in damp environments.
