2003 TVR T350C 3.6L Petrol · WU03 AMK

The 2021‑10‑26 MOT at 23,278 miles passed without mechanical failure, the only defect being a damaged windscreen that did not impair the driver’s view and the test confirmed stable roadworthiness. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 23,278 at 23 years of age equates to roughly 1,012 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Early records show rapid mileage growth, jumping from 5,955 miles in 2006 to 20,225 miles by 2009, a gain of over 14,000 miles in three years. A 12‑year gap between the 2009 test and the 2021 test suggests the car may have stood unused for a long interval. Recurring headlamp aim faults in 2007 and 2008, together with an exhaust lambda breach in 2008, indicate previous owners corrected alignment and emission issues but did not eliminate underlying wear. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and excessive corrosion on structural components in earlier tests, so a buyer must inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers and the chassis for rust. The windscreen damage noted in the latest test warrants a close check for cracks or delamination. While the recent MOT shows no major mechanical failures, the age and mileage pattern demand thorough on‑site verification of wear items and structural integrity. A careful examination of the suspension, brakes, exhaust system and chassis will reveal whether the vehicle remains roadworthy or requires remedial work.
