Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low mileage, you should verify the service history to ensure the oil and fluids have been changed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Check for any signs of degradation in rubber components or tyres that may have occurred from the vehicle sitting for extended periods.
Negotiate based on the current state of the windscreen, as the June 2024 MOT record noted damage that did not adversely affect the driver's view but remained as an advisory. Ensure that any specialist maintenance has been carried out by a qualified technician familiar with the Super Seven's specific requirements.
Running costs for this vehicle are likely to be low in terms of fuel and tax due to its limited use. However, insurance for a specialist vehicle like a Caterham can vary significantly depending on the driver's profile and whether the car is used for track days or purely on the road.
Maintenance costs are typically higher per visit than a standard hatchback, as these vehicles often require specialist attention. Expect annual costs to be driven more by storage and periodic maintenance than by daily wear and tear.
Carefully inspect the windscreen for the damage mentioned in the 2024 MOT records; while it passed the test, the advisory indicates the damage is still present. Test the windscreen washer system to ensure the failure recorded in June 2024 was fully and permanently rectified.
Perform a thorough check of the chassis and underside for any signs of corrosion or surface rust, which can occur if the vehicle was stored in a damp environment. Check the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, given the low total mileage recorded over the vehicle's lifetime.
This 2017 white Caterham Super Seven is powered by a 1598cc petrol engine and has recorded just 6,589 miles as of June 2024. The MOT history shows a clean pass in 2023 and a single-day failure and pass in 2024 due to minor windscreen and washer issues. Its exceptionally low mileage for its age makes it a compelling proposition for an enthusiast.
Aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle has shown few defects across its recorded tests.
