1967 Alvis TF21 3.0L Petrol · PLN 31E

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 2 July 2025 confirming a pass at 66,025 miles. While the car remains roadworthy, the record shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumables and persistent minor structural issues. The presence of an advisory for a rusty nearside rear inner wheel arch with a small hole has persisted since at least 2013, indicating that while the vehicle is kept running, surface corrosion is being managed rather than fully rectified. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 1967 model, averaging roughly 1,119 miles per year. This slow progression is evident in the data, showing only 595 miles covered between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests. Such low usage suggests the vehicle is likely a seasonal or collector item, which can lead to long periods of inactivity. The record shows a notable gap in testing between May 2017 and December 2019, though the vehicle passed all subsequent inspections. A buyer must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the bodywork and the condition of the braking system. The tester flagged a leaking brake master cylinder and a leaking offside rear hydraulic brake caliper during a failure in December 2020. Although these were resolved for the 2021 pass, any hydraulic system on a vintage vehicle requires careful inspection for weeping or pressure loss. The recurring advisory for the nearside rear inner wheel arch suggests that corrosion may be progressing beyond a superficial level. The tyre maintenance shows a clear trend of neglect regarding consumable replacement. The offside rear tyre has been flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in four consecutive tests from February 2022 through to July 2025. This indicates that the owner frequently operates the vehicle on near-legal tyres without timely replacement. A thorough inspection of all four tyres and the suspension geometry is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from alignment issues or uneven wear.
