1969 MG C 2.9L Petrol · CBY 540G

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT documentation. The February 2025 test at 71,313 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance status at the time of the last inspection, showing no immediate concerns regarding structural integrity or essential mechanical systems. The recorded mileage of 71,313 miles over 57 years suggests a very low annual usage of approximately 1,251 miles. Such low mileage often indicates a vehicle that has been stored in a controlled environment or used only for occasional leisure trips. While this reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to issues with seals drying out or fluids degrading due to inactivity. The lack of historical data points makes it difficult to establish a long-term maintenance trend, but the recent clean test is a positive indicator. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to supplement this digital record. Given the low usage, particular attention should be paid to the condition of rubber components such as suspension bushes, fuel lines, and tyre sidewalls, which can perish even without significant road use. The buyer should also inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or structural degradation that may not have been captured in a standard MOT test. Mechanical checks should focus on the braking system and fluid integrity. Even with a clean MOT, the buyer should verify that brake calipers are not binding and that the hydraulic system has been recently serviced. Checking for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine block and gearbox will help confirm if the low mileage has resulted in any seal degradation.
