About the 2010 MORGAN 4/4

The 2010 MORGAN 4/4 is a family car with a 1796cc petrol engine. 67 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2010, the average MOT pass rate is 75%, and this model beats that benchmark.

With an average of 23,495 miles at 16 years old, MORGAN 4/4 owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

2010 MORGAN 4/4 Fuel Costs

The 1796cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 36 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,327 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2010 MORGAN 4/4?

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,047 171/month), broken down as £1327 fuel, £315 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 85% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

MORGAN 4/4 Reliability Trend

The MORGAN 4/4 has maintained consistent MOT pass rates across model years, varying by only 0 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2010 MORGAN 4/4

At 16 years old, the MORGAN 4/4 is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. Note: with only 67 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2010 MORGAN 4/4's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Timing Chain / Belt

Watch out

At 16 years old, check whether the timing belt has been replaced (typically due every 5-7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles). A snapped belt can destroy the engine.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
