1960 Morris Minor 1000 Petrol · JFO 248

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 9 May 2025 at 82,919 miles. This most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting the car is in a high state of repair for its age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 66-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,256 miles per year. A significant data gap exists between June 2009 and May 2025, during which the odometer increased by only 5,294 miles. This indicates the car likely spent long periods in storage or saw very limited seasonal use over the last sixteen years. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the long periods of inactivity raise specific concerns. A buyer should physically inspect the brake system for seized calipers or sticking pistons and check the fuel system for degradation. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, often perish during long-term standing regardless of low mileage. Particular attention must be paid to the chassis and floor pans for corrosion. The absence of structural failures in the MOT history is positive, but the limited number of tests since 2006 means the record does not provide a comprehensive longitudinal view of the bodywork's integrity. A thorough underside inspection is necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed during the vehicle's dormant periods.
