1933 Riley 1.1L Petrol · KV 5485

A consistent track record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 2026-06-19 resulting in a pass with no defects. The historical data shows a stable trend, with the vast majority of tests returning clean sheets, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met the minimum safety requirements of the DVSA when presented for inspection. The recorded mileage of 19,286 miles is remarkably low for a 93-year-old vehicle, equating to an average of roughly 207 miles per year. This usage profile is punctuated by a significant eight-year gap in the MOT record between 2017 and 2025, which suggests the vehicle spent a substantial period off the road. Such long-term inactivity often impacts the condition of perishable materials and mechanical lubricants. Inspection should focus on the rubber and sealing components, as evidenced by the 2009 record of a perished near-side rear tyre. On a test drive, the buyer should specifically monitor for steering heaviness or pull, and listen for knocks or groans from the suspension linkages and bushes that may have degraded during the period of standing. The braking system should be evaluated for any binding or uneven pedal pressure, ensuring that the mechanical linkages operate smoothly without excessive play.
