Got a specific Austin Morris Princess Hl Auto you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The Princess hasn't generated enough MOT test records in the DVLA light-vehicle database to produce meaningful pass-rate statistics, so we can't compare it directly to the UK average of 80%. This 1982 saloon is now over 40 years old, and very few remain on the road—only 114 vehicles in our dataset—which explains why MOT data is too sparse to analyse reliability trends.
What we do know is that any surviving Princess will need specialist care: these front-wheel-drive Austins are now classics or curiosities rather than everyday cars, and parts availability and knowledgeable repair shops are increasingly hard to find. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration or enthusiast project rather than a practical runabout, and factor in the cost of bespoke mechanical work.
We have 114 1982 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
