MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before consider
Purchasing a vehicle of this age is not a standard consumer transaction; it is an acquisition of a vintage asset. You must secure a physical inspection by a specialist vintage car restorer or a historic vehicle engineer. Do not rely on any digital data, as none exists for this registration.
Prioritise verifying the provenance and authenticity of the 1670cc engine and chassis. You should request a full physical paper trail of ownership and any existing mechanical documentation, as the lack of an MOT history means there is no electronic record of its recent condition or any previous failures.
Running costs for a 1906 vehicle are unpredictable and significantly higher than modern vehicles. While fuel consumption will be relatively low by modern standards, the cost of specialist petrol, high-grade oils, and bespoke parts can be substantial.
Insurance must be sourced through a specialist classic car provider, and tax requirements for vehicles of this era differ from standard modern motoring. Expect maintenance costs to be driven by the need for specialist labour rather than part prices alone.
Because there is no MOT history to reference, you must perform a comprehensive physical inspection. Pay close attention to the integrity of the chassis, the condition of the 1670cc engine, and the state of the braking system, which may not meet modern safety expectations.
Check for signs of corrosion in the blue bodywork and ensure all mechanical linkages are functional. Given the 1939 registration date, verify that the vehicle's components are period-correct or appropriately maintained for a vehicle of this vintage.
This 1906 James/Brown, finished in blue with a 1670cc petrol engine, represents a significant historical piece. However, there is a complete absence of MOT history or digital data to assess its current roadworthiness or mechanical state. Given the age and the gap between its manufacture and its 1939 registration, this vehicle requires specialist assessment.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this 1906 model to provide a statistical assessment of its performance.
