Our Verdict
This Caterham presents a cautious purchase opportunity due to its clean MOT history and low mileage, but the unknown model specification introduces uncertainty about long-term reliability.
Prioritise checking service records to confirm the low mileage aligns with documented maintenance. Inspect for signs of track use or modifications, as Caterhams are often sport-focused. Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage but factor in potential premium pricing for rare models. Be wary of unexplained gaps in the service history, as this model's unknown specification may hide unique maintenance requirements.
Petrol fuel economy for 1998cc engines typically ranges £8-£12 per 100 miles depending on driving style. Tax band would be £155 annually for 2023-2025 (standard rate). Insurance groups for performance-oriented Caterhams often fall in higher brackets (15-25), potentially costing £1,000-£1,500 yearly. Maintenance costs could exceed average due to specialist parts, with an estimated annual running cost of £1,200-£1,600.
Check for corrosion under the bodywork, as Caterhams' lightweight construction can be susceptible to rust in harsh UK conditions. Inspect the engine bay for leaks or excessive wear on the 1998cc petrol unit. Verify the purple paint is original, as custom colours may indicate non-standard modifications. Review the VIN to confirm the vehicle hasn't been involved in accidents or flood damage.
The 2022 Caterham (registration KX72BGO) has a clean MOT record with only 4,845 miles recorded as of September 2025, suggesting careful ownership. However, the lack of model-specific reliability data and the vehicle's purple colour (rare for this brand) mean buyers should verify service history and inspect for hidden issues. The 1998cc petrol engine is likely performance-oriented but may have higher maintenance expectations.
No aggregate reliability data available for this unspecified Caterham model, making it difficult to assess long-term ownership risks.
