1995 MG RV8 3.9L Petrol · M930 MUL

The 1995 MG RV8 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 11 August 2025 at 31,851 miles which recorded no defects. Prior examinations in May 2024 at 31,835 miles, June 2022 at 31,786 miles, April 2021 at 31,772 miles, and March 2019 at 31,031 miles all passed with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across the six-year documented span. Recorded mileage sits at 31,851 against roughly 31 years of age, equating to about 1,027 miles per year. The data reveals extremely light use with only 820 miles added between March 2019 and August 2025. A gap exists between the 2019 and 2021 tests spanning over two years, after which annual-style testing resumed. Such low accumulation implies long stationary periods rather than regular road exercise. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the RV8's age and likely extended storage. Dormant rubber components degrade and seizing brake components develop without movement. Structural corrosion beneath sills and chassis rails warrants close examination despite clean MOT outcomes. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests conscientious ownership and careful preservation. Verify the odometer reading against service records and confirm the 2019 to 2021 layoff did not involve unchecked deterioration. Pre-purchase checks on exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition remain prudent for any low-mileage classic.
