2004 Toyota Corolla 1.4L Petrol · GY04 AFK

The Toyota Corolla shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the 2 October 2023 test at 89,529 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass followed two same-day failures on 2 October 2023 and a prior failure on 14 September 2023, all at 89,518 to 89,529 miles, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against any of those tests. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the MOT entries rather than confirmed mechanical faults, and the vehicle has carried no advisories or recorded defects since the 13 September 2022 pass at 87,920 miles. At roughly 22 years old the car displays low use, totalling 89,529 miles or about 4,070 miles per year. The record captures only two annual windows: 87,912 to 87,920 miles on 13 September 2022 and 89,518 to 89,529 miles across September to October 2023. That is under 1,700 miles in the latest twelve-month span. The sparse history gives little insight into consumable turnover, though the standing time implied by low mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2004 build date and intermittent use. The tester recorded no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, but absence of advisories in a thin record is not proof of condition. Check for binding calipers from prolonged storage, inspect tyres and wiper blades for age cracking, and verify the MOT failures of September and October 2023 were clerical rather than masked defects before purchase.
