1991 Caterham Seven 1.7L Petrol · J7 NJB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 with no defects recorded. This indicates the car was in a roadworthy condition as of a year ago. The MOT history shows an exceptionally stable trend. Every recorded test since 2012 has resulted in a pass with no defects noted, suggesting a high standard of maintenance or very light usage. The recorded mileage of 13,679 miles is very low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 391 miles per year. While this means there is minimal wear on the drivetrain and mechanical consumables, such low mileage often implies the car has spent long periods standing. The primary risk associated with this pattern is not wear from hard use, but rather the degradation that occurs during periods of inactivity. This can lead to the perishing of rubber components or the deterioration of fluids. A buyer should first inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and check all rubber hoses and seals for signs of drying out. It is also important to examine the condition of the fluids to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged standing.
