2022 Caterham Unknown 0.7L Petrol · KX72 BFO

The 660cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and lightness rather than long-distance cruising, meaning fuel costs will be minimal for occasional use. Being a small-displacement engine, it will likely sit in a lower VED (road tax) bracket, though insurance premiums can be higher than standard cars due to the specialist nature and lack of traditional safety features.

Maintenance costs are generally low for these simple mechanical setups, provided they are not used for heavy track work. You can expect annual running costs to remain low, primarily consisting of insurance and an annual specialist health check.

While the October 2025 MOT was passed with no defects, you should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. Check for any signs of corrosion or road grime, although the low mileage suggests the car has seen very little road use. Inspect the tyres for 'flat spotting' or cracking, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.

Check the electrical systems and lighting, as these can sometimes be temperamental in lightweight cars that aren't driven daily. Ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold and that there are no leaks around the 660cc engine bay, which should be exceptionally clean given the recorded mileage.
