1991 Toyota Sera 1.5L Petrol · GJI 1268

The Toyota Sera presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 27 March 2026 at 109,782 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with the latest pass mirroring the clean 19 March 2025 pass at 106,974 miles. The intervening failures on 26 March 2026, 10 March 2025 and 6 May 2023 all show no defects logged, indicating no worsening mechanical condition despite the anomalous fail entries. Recorded mileage of 109,782 against a 1991 build date implies light use at roughly 3,137 miles per year. The history reveals a pronounced standing period: between the May 2023 failure at 105,926 miles and the March 2025 failure at 105,945 miles, the vehicle covered only 19 miles across nearly two years. A short burst of 1,029 miles then preceded the March 2025 pass. The final pre-pass failure on 26 March 2026 at 109,776 miles sat just six miles below the subsequent pass, confirming sparse but recent use. Such low accumulation limits wear on consumables yet raises the risk of perished rubber and corrosion from inactivity. With no advisories or defects listed, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components the MOT omitted. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, and check brake discs and calipers for binding after the long dormancy. Structural integrity demands scrutiny for corrosion in sills and subframes, a common affliction on 35-year-old Japanese imports. The unexplained fail entries warrant a request for the original test certificates to rule out administrative anomalies.
