2012 Morgan 3 Wheeler 2.0L Petrol · MP03 MOG

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance profile, evidenced by a clean MOT result in the most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 12,547 miles. Following a period of recurring steering-related advisories, the record shows no defects or advisories for the last three consecutive tests. This suggests that the previous issues regarding the steering rack gaiters have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 896 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow increase in distance, moving from 5,221 miles in 2015 to 12,547 miles in 2025. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking systems, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or fluid degradation. The record shows a notable gap in testing between March 2021 and April 2022, though the vehicle passed within that window. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering assembly and rubber components. The history shows a recurring trend of damaged or deteriorated steering rack gaiters between 2017 and 2022, specifically affecting the nearside and offside components. Although the 2025 test shows no defects, the low mileage and age of the vehicle mean that all suspension bushes, steering joints, and various gaiters should be checked for signs of perishing or cracking. The 2016 test flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit, which is typical for a vehicle with this usage profile. Given the intermittent nature of the driving, I recommend inspecting the tyres for flat spots or age-related sidewall cracking. The overall mechanical history is clean, but the low-use nature of this Morgan requires a thorough check of all perishable seals and rubber elements to ensure they remain supple and effective.
