1966 Ford Anglia 1.6L Petrol · NPX 808D

The 1966 Ford Anglia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 4 August 2025 at 229 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The three preceding annual tests in 2024, 2023 and 2022 likewise produced passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has remained mechanically sound across its recent certification cycle. The mileage record shows an unusual pattern for a 60-year-old vehicle. Between the 15 July 2021 test at 57,305 miles and the 11 July 2022 test at 57,432 miles, the car covered only 127 miles, consistent with light use. A sharp drop then appears: the 14 July 2023 test records just 57 miles, and the figure stays at 57 miles for 2024 before rising to 111 miles and then 229 miles in 2025. This suggests the odometer was reset or the vehicle was effectively laid up for decades, with roughly 4 miles per year averaged since. The clean MOT history across all five entries gives no evidence of neglected consumables or structural faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related corrosion to chassis and sills, perished rubber suspension bushes, and seized brake components after long static storage. The absence of advisories means no tester flagged binding calipers, worn coil springs or exhaust emissions issues, but six decades of age demand scrutiny of fuel lines and brake hydraulics beyond the MOT scope. Given the spotless record and minimal recent use, previous keepers appear to have preserved the Anglia rather than driven it hard. Verify the mileage discrepancy with documented history before purchase, as the leap from 57,432 to 57 miles lacks DVSA explanation.
