2004 Toyota Supra 3.0L Petrol · K918 SUY

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 20 March 2026 at 240,797 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the car passed clean tests in April 2025, March 2024, and April 2023, the recent failure in March 2026 suggests a decline in its immediate compliance. The lack of recorded defects during the failures on 20 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 is highly unusual and may indicate administrative errors or failures on items not detailed in the summary provided. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 10,945 miles per year over its 22-year lifespan. Between April 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 716 miles, suggesting a period of very light use. This changed significantly between April 2025 and March 2026, where the mileage increased by 2,438 miles. The overall accumulation is typical for a driver's car rather than a preserved collector's piece. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. High-mileage Toyotas of this era often suffer from corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. Given the 240,797-mile odometer reading, you must check for worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and the condition of the brake discs. The recurring failures without listed defects are a red flag that requires clarification from the seller to ensure no major structural or mechanical issues were overlooked. Verify the current status of the engine and drivetrain. High mileage increases the risk of oil leaks and wear on the turbocharger or cooling system. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and ensure the tyres have legal tread depth, as these are common failure points that may have triggered the most recent MOT rejection.
