TOYOTA MR22003 · 1.8L PETROL

The most recent MOT from March 2023 was a clean pass with no defects recorded. Although the vehicle recorded failures in 2018 and 2019, it has since achieved two consecutive passing results without any noted defects. This suggests the vehicle's maintenance trend is currently stable or improving. The mileage of 98,186 is low for a 23-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,269 miles per year. This pattern typically implies the vehicle has seen light use or has spent significant periods stationary. While this can mean less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also introduces the risk of age-related degradation that occurs even when a car is not being driven. You should first inspect the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushings, engine hoses, and seals, to check for cracking or perishing caused by age. Additionally, check for any signs of fluid leaks or seized parts that may have resulted from the car being parked for long intervals.
