2007 Caterham Seven 1.6L Petrol · Q587 JRS

The vehicle's MOT history is exceptionally clean, with the most recent test in June 2025 resulting in a pass. The only recorded defects over the last two years have been minor lighting failures, specifically a rear fog lamp and a front position lamp. These were trivial issues rectified on the day of testing, suggesting a stable condition trend with no evidence of serious mechanical or structural decline. The total mileage is very low for a nineteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 420 miles per year. This typically indicates a leisure vehicle that has spent significant periods standing. However, there is a notable shift in usage patterns, as the mileage increased by over 5,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This suggests the car has moved from long-term storage into a period of more frequent use. While the MOT record is limited and positive, the history of low usage means the primary risks are related to inactivity rather than wear and tear. A buyer should first inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or perishing and check for any leaks from rubber seals or gaskets that may have dried out during periods of standing. It is also advisable to verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion.
