Our Verdict
A rare find for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a low-mileage modern classic. While the brand is basic, the exceptional mileage and clean recent MOT history suggest a well-maintained or stored vehicle.
When buying a vehicle with such low mileage, the primary concern is age rather than mechanical wear and tear. Check for signs of rubber degradation in hoses and seals, which can perish when sitting forly. Ensure the car has been serviced regularly by time rather than just mileage, as oil changes are vital for older engines.\n Negotiate based on the rarity of the condition, but verify the mileage across the service history to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. Look for rust on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common enemies of older cars regardless of how many miles they have driven.
The 1568cc petrol engine is relatively simple, though you should expect modest fuel economy compared to modern standards. Insurance groups are typically low due to the vehicle's age and low value, and tax should fall into a lower bracket.\n\nMaintenance is generally inexpensive due to the basic mechanical design, though parts may require specialist sourcing. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £500-£700 depending on how much it is actually used for commuting.
Focus your inspection on the underbody; despite the 2022 MOT failure at 1,703 miles, the subsequent clean passes suggest any issues found were rectified. Look specifically for any structural corrosion in the floorpan and suspension mounting, which are known weak points for the Lada Riva era.\n\nCheck the tyres for age cracking; with only 3,800 miles, the rubber may have plenty tread but could be dangerously hard due to age. Also test the braking system to ensure the calipers haven't seized from periods of low use.
This 1998 LADA 21060 is a remarkable survivor, having covered just 3,841 miles in its 27-year life. The most recent MOT tests show clean passes with no recorded defects, indicating the car has been kept in surprisingly good condition. Given its 1.6L engine and simple white finish, it represents a straightforward piece of Soviet-era engineering that has avoided the typical daily wear.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model, but the 2106 series is known for its rugged but basic construction.
