The Austin Morris Princess was a mid-range family saloon produced between 1975 and 1981, known for its spacious interior and Hydragas suspension but plagued by rust and electrical gremlins throughout its production run. If you're considering one today, it will be a classic or heritage vehicle well beyond its original design life, and any purchase decision should rest on the specific condition of the individual car—particularly its bodywork and mechanical history—rather than on modern MOT performance data. Have a pre-purchase inspection carried out by a specialist in 1970s British Leyland cars to assess rust, hydraulic fluid integrity, and wiring condition.
We have 1,025 1980 Austin Morris Princess Hl Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
