1991 Morgan Sports 2.0L Petrol · J291 CUY

The 1991 Morgan Sports presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 31 December 2025 at 44,853 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2020 to 2023 also logged clean sheets. The single failure on 12 October 2021 at 44,678 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening advisories or recurring wear items flagged across the five-year span. Recorded mileage sits at 44,853 against a 35-year lifespan, an average of roughly 1,282 miles per year. The odometer moved only 586 miles between the October 2020 test at 44,267 and the December 2025 test at 44,853. Such low annual use suggests long periods of standing or light recreational running, typical of an enthusiast-owned classic. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or neglect-driven gaps beyond the single same-day fail and retest in 2021, which implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and outriggers, as MOT passes with no advisories on a 35-year-old body do not certify freedom from age-related rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for perishing from inactivity, since standing vehicles often develop binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres unseen in a clean test. The exhaust and emissions system passed but should be examined for internal degradation given the low heat cycles over the past five years.
