Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful rectification of a previous failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 August 2025 at 9,876 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a failure noted on 29 January 2025 at 9,869 miles, although the artwork indicates no specific defects for that entry, suggesting a technicality that was addressed and cleared prior to the subsequent test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 96 years, averaging approximately 103 miles per year over its lifespan. Between the January 2025 failure and August 2025 pass, the car covered only seven miles. This indicates the vehicle is likely used only for short-distance transit or remains in storage for extended periods. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often increases the risk of degradation from aged rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination due to lack of use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork, as corrosion is the primary threat to vehicles of this era. Given the extremely low mileage, the braking system should be checked for seized pistons or perished hydraulic lines that may not manifest through mileage. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or dry rot which occurs independently of distance driven.
