1972 Triumph Stag 3.0L Petrol · FHW 333K

The Triumph Stag presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 20 January 2026 at 32,414 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test recorded no defects, continuing a pattern of clean outcomes in the later entries. Prior to this, the vehicle showed two failed tests in late 2024 and early 2025 that carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The mileage reflects light use for a 54-year-old vehicle, rising from 29,552 miles at the November 2023 test to 32,414 miles by January 2026, an accumulation of roughly 2,862 miles over just over two years. Annual averages sit near 600 miles, consistent with a classic car kept in limited service. The record shows no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps; the only anomaly is the pair of defect-free failures on 22 November 2024 at 30,564 miles and 23 January 2025 at 30,614 miles, followed by a same-day pass on the latter date. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the Stag's age and the MOT record's silence on underneath condition across all entries. The clean advisories mean the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, brake disc lipping, or exhaust concerns, but a no-defect sheet on a 1972 chassis does not confirm freedom from hidden rot in sills or subframes. The repeated zero-advisory passes suggest the keeper addressed any consumable wear privately before each test. Given the low annual mileage and two anomaly failures with no defects, previous ownership likely stored the car for long periods and maintained it to a presentable standard. Verify the body, fuel system, and overdrive operation on viewing, as the DVSA data offers no insight into those areas beyond the absence of recorded faults.
