2010 Caterham Seven 1.6L Petrol · EU10 AEK

The most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 shows the Caterham Seven passed at 1,847 miles with no defects recorded. Every MOT in the six‑year record (2020‑2026) also passed without any advisories, indicating a consistently clean history. All entries are defect‑free, so there is no evidence of a worsening mechanical condition. The pattern is stable – the car has simply continued to meet the basic safety standards each time it was tested. At roughly 115 miles per year, the mileage is exceptionally low for a 16‑year‑old sports car. This could mean the vehicle has been driven very lightly, which reduces wear on brakes, suspension, drivetrain and engine components. Conversely, long periods of inactivity can allow rust to develop, rubber seals to dry out, and battery capacity to decline. The mileage figure alone does not tell us whether the car has been regularly exercised or left standing for years, so the implication for wear is ambiguous. For a buyer, the priority is to verify that the low mileage is genuine and that the car has been kept in a sensible condition despite its age. Inspect the following in person: Body and chassis for any rust, especially around the underside, wheel arches and suspension mounting points.
