Our Verdict
This 2022 Caterham (MY71CON) is a strong buy for a low-mileage, lightly used sports car with a clean MOT record. The only caution is a near-side rear tyre wearing close to the limit, which is a cheap and immediate fix.
Given the low mileage and clean MOT record, this Caterham presents as a well-kept example, but confirm the service history matches the low usage — Caterhams are often weekend cars and may have sparse servicing gaps if not used regularly. Negotiate on the near-side rear tyre noted at the June 2026 MOT; a fresh tyre should be fitted before purchase or deducted from the price. As a 2022 model with no aggregate reliability data available, budget for specialist maintenance at a Caterham-approved or kit-car experienced garage rather than a mainstream chain.
As a 1,598cc petrol sports car, fuel economy will be modest compared to a standard hatchback, though the low 4,761-mile annual average keeps total fuel spend down for most owners. Road tax for a 2022 petrol car of this size is typically in the lower bands, but insurance may be higher due to the performance and niche nature of the Caterham brand. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £900-£1,200 given the limited mileage.
The June 2026 MOT flagged the near-side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge (5.2.3(e)) — inspect all four tyres for even wear and replace the near-side rear before driving extensively. The March 2025 test noted slight play in the rear anti-roll bar ball joints and bushes (5.3.4(a)(i)); check these joints for movement and confirm they have not deteriorated since. As a low-mileage 2022 car with no recorded failures, also verify chassis condition for corrosion or track-day damage, common on lightweight Caterhams even with limited road miles.
First registered in February 2022, this silver 1.6-litre petrol Caterham has covered just 4,761 miles in four years, well below typical use for its age. MOT history shows three passes with only minor advisories — slight rear anti-roll bar play in March 2025 and a near-side rear tyre worn on the edge in June 2026. No failures or major defects have been recorded, indicating careful ownership and light recreational use.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Caterham UNKNOWN model, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
