1991 Toyota MR2 2.0L Petrol · J738 NAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of persistent mechanical wear and deferred minor repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 125,409 miles passed, the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joints which have appeared annually since 2024. The parking brake efficiency has degraded from a failure in 2021 to just meeting the required guidelines in 2025, suggesting the braking system is reaching the end of its effective adjustment range. At 35 years old, the recorded 125,409 miles represent a remarkably low usage pattern of approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows very small intervals between tests, such as only 409 miles covered between May 2024 and August 2025, and just 559 miles between 2022 and 2024. This low mileage often leads to age-related rubber degradation and fluid seal, which is consistent with the frequent reports of worn suspension bushes and oil leaks noted over the last four years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, as the 2021 failure noted a restricted inspection of the outer sills due to body trims. The recurring play in the anti-roll bar linkages and the worn rear suspension arm bushes indicate the suspension requires a comprehensive overhaul to ensure stable handling. Additionally, the persistent oil leak mentioned in every test since 2021 warrants an investigation to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or a more significant seal issue that could lead to engine distress over time.
