1990 Toyota MR2 GT 2.0L Petrol · EFZ 9452

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 11 May 2026 at 138,520 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on 02 April 2026 at 138,479 miles. Because the failure record lists no specific defects, this event likely resulted from an administrative error or a minor non-safety issue that was rectified immediately, as the car passed again just five weeks later. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,848 miles per year. Between March 2022 and October 2024, the car covered only 690 miles, moving from 137,704 to 138,394 miles. This extremely low annual usage suggests the vehicle is used for short trips or stored for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown due to lack of mechanical exercise. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of age-sensitive parts. Low-mileage classic cars are prone to hidden corrosion in sills and floor pans that MOT tests may not catch until significant. The buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for corrosion despite the low use. Given the stagnant mileage, the tyres should also be checked for flat spotting and seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended durations.
