Our Verdict
This is a low-risk purchase for a 2022 Caterham with a single clean MOT pass and modest mileage. Provided the price reflects its condition and spec, it is a sensible buy for someone wanting a near-new lightweight sports car.
Because this Caterham is a 2022 model, it may still carry remaining manufacturer warranty depending on the original sale date, so confirm this with the seller and request the original paperwork. Ask for a full service history; lightweight sports cars like this are often used seasonally, so evidence of correct storage and maintenance between use is valuable. Given the lack of aggregate model data, negotiate on the basis of condition and provenance rather than assumed market averages, and consider a specialist inspection from a Caterham-trained mechanic before committing.
As a 1998cc petrol Caterham, this vehicle will likely return modest fuel economy compared with a standard road car due to its performance orientation, though exact figures are not provided in the data. Road tax for a petrol car of this engine size registered after April 2017 is charged at the standard flat rate, currently £195 per year after the first year, with insurance group and premiums best confirmed via a specialist broker familiar with kit-derived sports cars. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are likely in the region of £1,200 to £1,800 given limited mileage and specialist part costs.
The most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 7,474 miles recorded no defects, so there are no failure types in the history to specifically follow up. However, as a blue 2022 Caterham with a 1998cc engine, check for weather-related wear on exposed bodywork and suspension components given the open or semi-open design typical of the brand. Verify the chassis for corrosion or stone damage, inspect tyre condition given the low 7,474-mile usage which may indicate age-related perishing rather than wear, and confirm the engine and ancillaries are free of leaks during a cold start.
The Caterham registered LJ72ACO is a November 2022 petrol model with a 1998cc engine finished in blue. Its only recorded MOT, dated 17 October 2025 at 7,474 miles, passed with no defects noted. With under three years on the road and low mileage for its age, the vehicle presents as a well-kept example with no adverse history data available.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Caterham Unknown model, so no generalised reliability claim can be made from the provided information.
