1997 TVR Chimaera 4.0L Petrol · SJB 75R

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-27 confirmed the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. This aligns with all prior MOT results, which also showed passing grades and no recorded issues. The 1997 TVR Chimaera has maintained a consistent MOT history over the past four years, with no signs of emerging mechanical problems. The pattern of MOT results suggests a stable condition, as the vehicle has repeatedly met safety and emissions standards without requiring repairs. No defects, advisories, or failures were noted in any of the five recorded tests. This indicates the car has been well-maintained or, at minimum, has not developed critical issues that would trigger failure. The mileage of 39,945 miles over 29 years equates to roughly 1,377 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle’s age. This could imply infrequent use, long periods of inactivity, or careful storage. While low mileage often correlates with less wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also suggest potential issues related to under-use, such as degraded fluids, battery health, or rubber components. However, the MOT records do not highlight these concerns.
