1968 MG C 2.9L Petrol · GCK 848F

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent test in June 2026 at 10,646 miles which returned no defects. This follows a consistent period of clean passes since 2018, indicating that the vehicle is currently well-maintained. The trend suggests the car is stored and used in a manner that prevents the typical mechanical degradation seen in older vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a car from 1968, averaging approximately 184 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between 2006, where it showed 19,060 miles, and 2007, where it dropped to 1,339 miles, suggesting a period of long storage or a restoration. Since 2018, the vehicle has covered only 2,575 miles over eight years. This low usage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but increases the risk of rubber perishation, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion from lack of motion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that have shown vulnerability in the past. The 2014 test flagged damaged ball joint dust covers and a rear wheel bearing with play, and while these passed later, the low mileage necessitates a check for seized grease and perished seals. Given the history of tyre-related failures in 2014 and 2015, verify the age of the current tyres rather than just tread depth, as dry rot is likely. The structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans remains paramount, as low-mileage classics often suffer from hidden rust that standard MOT inspections do not always penetrate.
