1967 Sunbeam Tiger 4.3L Petrol · SME 731F

The Sunbeam Tiger currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 28 July 2022 at 39,896 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean result from the previous inspection in October 2020. This consistency suggests that, during the periods it was operational, the vehicle has maintained a high standard of presentation without immediate mechanical or structural failures flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of nearly 60 years, averaging approximately 676 miles per annum. Between the October 2020 and July 2022 tests, the car covered only 363 miles, indicating it is either used strictly as a fair-weather enthusiast vehicle or sits in long-term storage for significant intervals. While this low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking surfaces, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid acidity which does not appear on a standard MOT test. Given that the last MOT was recorded nearly four years ago, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the passage of time. The primary focus should be placed on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, specifically looking for hidden corrosion that often accumulates when classic vehicles remain stationary. You should also verify the condition of perished brake lines, suspension bushings, and seized calipers, as these elements are prone to failure despite low mileage figures.
