1986 TOYOTA SUPRA2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent records, though the data is now eight years lapsed. The last recorded test in March 2018 at 188,033 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully addressed. However, because no MOT has been performed since that date, the current legal roadworthiness of the vehicle is unknown and its structural integrity or mechanical condition cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a forty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between February 2015 and March 2018, the car covered only 3,113 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, seals, and hoses due to age and dryness, which is a common concern for classic Japanese of this era. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and braking systems, as the 2015 test flagged seepage from the nearside front power steering ram. The history of surface corrosion on brake discs and previously low-traction tyres suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which can cause seized calipers or flat-spot. The 2016 failure for a loose nearside rear wheel nut indicates a lapse in basic pre-test checks, necessitating a manual check of all wheel fasteners and suspension bolts to ensure they are torqued to specification.
