1915 American LA-France 14.5L Petrol · VG 258

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection. On 12 September 2025, the car passed its MOT test with zero defects and no deforming advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle met all minimum safety and environmental standards required by law at the time of the test. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 111 years old, averaging approximately six miles per year over its lifespan. This pattern suggests the car has spent vast periods in storage or is used strictly for occasional show purposes rather than as regular transport. While low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it often introduces risks related to material degradation and fluid breakdown, which a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components that suffer from long-term inactivity. Particular attention should be paid to rubber elements such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, which these may have perished or cracked despite minimal use. Given the age, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or internal cylinder corrosion, as stagnant fluid can lead to failure. The structural integrity of the chassis must also be scrutinized for hidden rust or structural rot that often accumulates in vehicles of this era when they remain stationary for extended durations.
