2005 AK Cobra Cobra 5.7L Petrol · CC05 BRA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean record following a period of mechanical attention. The most recent test in November 2025 at 23,320 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows two years of passes without advisories, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a high standard and remains operationally sound despite its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-one-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 1,037 miles, suggesting it is used as a seasonal leisure vehicle rather than a daily driver. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid-related issues. The consistent annual testing intervals show the owner has not allowed the vehicle to be neglected during long periods of storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components, as these have shown recurring signs of wear. The record notes an offside rear wheel bearing with excessive play in 2016, followed by a nearsside front upper suspension arm bush in 2022, and a steering rack inner joint issue in 2023. These faults indicate that the rubber components and bearings are susceptible to age-related fatigue rather than high mileage. Verify that the steering remains tight and free of play to ensure the previous repairs were effective. Given the low usage, the inspection should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and calipers, which often occurs when cars sit stationary for long periods. The 2022 failure regarding the washer system was a minor consumable issue, but it highlights the need to check basic fluid systems. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been well-looked after by an owner who responds to MOT failures as they appear.
