Our Verdict
A rare, low-mileage example of the 1996
Prioritise investigating the oil leak mentioned in the September 2023 and April 2025 MOT records. While the tester described these as 'not excessive', identifying the source is essential for a vehicle of this value.
Given the very low mileage recorded over 30 years, examine the service history for evidence of regular fluid changes and seal maintenance. Low-use vehicles can often suffer from perished rubber components or gaskets due to inactivity rather than wear.
Running costs will be significant, primarily driven by the 4997cc petrol engine's high fuel consumption. Insurance will likely be high due to the vehicle's performance profile and classification as a specialist classic.
Maintenance must be carried out by TVR specialists, which typically commands a premium over standard garage rates. Between fuel, insurance, and specialist upkeep, annual costs will be substantial.
Focus your inspection on the areas where oil leaks were recorded in 2023 and 2025 to determine if the issue has been resolved or remains present. Check the underbody and engine bay for any fresh residue.
Inspect all rubber hoses, belts, and tyres for signs of age-related cracking, as the low mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary. Ensure the chassis is inspected for any signs of corrosion, which is a known point of concern for vehicles from this era.
This blue 5.0L TVR Griffith has recorded 25,222 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. The vehicle has passed its last four MOT tests, with non-excessive oil leaks noted in both 2023 and 2025. Given its age and low mileage, it presents as a collector-grade opportunity.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the TVR Griffith to provide a broader reliability trend.
