1999 Morgan Plus 4 2.0L Petrol · T495 ACK

The vehicle presents a consistent roadworthiness record over the last five years of testing. In the most recent inspection conducted in May 2025 at 31,091 miles, the Morgan passed with no recorded defects, indicating that mechanical and structural components met the required standard. This follows a clean result in 2024 at 29,882 miles, suggesting a period of stable maintenance since the previous issues. The overall trend shows a vehicle that has been well-maintained, with minor concerns being addressed before escalating into recurring mechanical failures. At 27 years of age, the recorded mileage of 31,091 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 1,150 miles per year. This low mileage often results in less wear on consumables like brake pads and tyres, but it introduces risks related to rubber component degradation and fluid stagnation. The May 2022 test at 27,477 miles flagged advisories for perished or cracking on both front and rear tyres, which are typical issues for low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. The fact that these were resolved by the subsequent clean tests indicates the owner is proactive regarding safety-related wear items. The history shows a recurring oil leak noted as not excessive in both the May 2022 and 2023 tests. While the tester did not find a failure, the persistence of this advisory across two years suggests a slow seep from a gasket or seal that has not yet been fully rectified. A buyer should inspect the engine block and gearbox housing specifically to ensure the leak is not increasing in volume. Given the age and nature of the Morgan chassis, a physical inspection of the structural integrity for corrosion remains essential, as the MOT record alone does not detail the depth of frame-related condition.
