2001 TVR Cerbera 4.5L Petrol · X446 WTY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent March 2026 test at 27,842 miles. This follows a period of improvement where minor defects noted in early 2022 were rectified. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three annual tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing minor mechanical and electrical issues before they escalate into MOT failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per annum. The data shows a significant period of low use between October 2023 and March 2025, where the car covered only 72 miles in seventeen months. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between journeys often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and fluid contamination within the braking system. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the oil leak noted in March 2022 to ensure it has been permanently resolved rather than becoming a significant gasket failure. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is vital to identify hidden corrosion that MOT testers may miss if it is obscured. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and brake calipers for signs of seizing or cracking, as these components suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods regardless of the low recorded mileage.
