1995 Caterham 7 1.4L Petrol · M341 VCT

The vehicle maintains an exemplary standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 25 February 2026 at 35,674 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable and diligent maintenance trend, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed any mechanical or structural concerns before they could manifest as failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,150 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between July 2021 and March 2023, during which the car covered only 20 miles over nearly twenty months. Since 2023, the usage has increased slightly, covering 4,194 miles between the March 2023 test and the February 2026 test. This low-frequency use suggests the car is stored indoors and used sparingly as a fair driver, which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain components and braking systems. While the digital record is flawless, a buyer must account for the risks associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. An in-person inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, checking for hidden corrosion that can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Verify the condition of the rubber components, including suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls, which perish from age regardless of low mileage. The brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, as these are common issues in cars that are not driven regularly.
