2002 TVR Griffith 5.0L Petrol · N7 TVR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 26,209 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous inspections. This stability suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from recurring mechanical or structural failures common in its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between March 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 1,710 miles, indicating very infrequent use. The short interval between the June 2023 and December 2023 tests, where only 14 miles were recorded, further confirms the vehicle sits for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks related to rubber components, fluid degradation, and brake corrosion due to inactivity. Despite the clean record, a buyer must account for the specific risks associated with low-mileage storage. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis for any hidden corrosion, as TVR frames can be susceptible if not kept in a dry environment. The suspension bushes and rubber mounts should be checked for perished or cracking, as these age over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitting, as long periods of standing often lead to surface rust and internal failure of the braking system.
