1967 Triumph Vitesse 2.0L Petrol · KKP 100E

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant mechanical concern. The most recent test in April 2026 at 3,435 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a minor setback in 2024 where a nearside rear tyre was found worn to the legal limit, which has since been rectified according to the record. The mileage history reveals a drastic shift in usage patterns. Between 2014 and 2018, the vehicle covered over 4,000 miles, suggesting regular use. However, since the 2018 test at 99,118 miles, the mileage has plummeted, reaching only 3,435 miles by the spring of 2026. This represents an average of less than 60 miles per year. While this minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of degraded rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown that often occurs with long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine for the persistent oil leaks, which were recorded consistently between 2015 and 2017. Although the car has passed recently, the history suggests these leaks are a recurring issue that requires monitoring. The suspension also warrants close attention given previous failures of the offside front wheel bearing and the track rod end. Given the low mileage, it is vital to verify that rubber components, such as the exhaust hanger straps and brake hoses, have not perished or cracked due to age and lack of movement.
