1989 Toyota Space Cruiser 2.0L Petrol · F744 OHK

The Toyota Space Cruiser passed its most recent MOT on 6 October 2021 at 142,745 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no escalating mechanical concerns. The record shows clean passes in 2019, 2020, and 2021, though the 2019 and 2020 tests each list an initial failure on the same date with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than genuine faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear at any point. The odometer climbed from 138,765 miles at the 23 October 2019 test to 141,080 miles by 9 October 2020, then to 142,745 miles by 6 October 2021. That is roughly 3,000 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle's 37-year average of 3,858 miles annually and confirming light use. A five-year gap now exists between the last test and today's date of 16 July 2026, so the MOT has lapsed and the vehicle has likely stood unused or been off-road for an extended period. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of recorded defects, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, but the lapsed test means a fresh inspection is essential. A buyer should physically examine structural integrity for rust on chassis members and sills, check suspension components for perished bushes or fractured coil springs after prolonged standing, and verify brake condition for seized calipers or corroded discs. The engine and drivetrain should be assessed for degradation from inactivity, including coolant and fuel system condition, before any road use.
