AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met all minimum legal requirements at 74,293 miles. A failure on 10 November 2025 was resolved within four days, though the record lacks specific detail on the fault corrected. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,397 miles per year. The data shows a period of relative inactivity between November 2021 and November 2023, where the odometer moved only 114 miles from 69,861 to 69,975. Usage increased slightly thereafter, with 2,568 miles added by November 2024 and a further 2,550 miles by November 2025. While the MOT history is remarkably clean and free of recurring advisories, the low usage and periods of standing present specific risks. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as these often occur when a car sits idle. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or age-related cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Attention must be paid to the chassis and suspension mounting points. TVR models of this era are susceptible to structural corrosion, which may not always be flagged in a standard MOT if the rust is not yet compromising safety. A thorough inspection of the underside for corrosion and a check of the rubber suspension bushes for perishing due to age is essential to confirm the vehicle's long-term integrity.
