1993 Toyota MR2 2.0L Petrol · L171 SEM

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthiness state based on the most recent MOT pass on 27 April 2024. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last four years. While the car failed its tests on 8 February 2023 and 22 February 2024, the lack of documented defects suggests these were likely minor administrative issues or quick-fix items that did not warrant detailed recording in the summary. The mileage remains low for a 33 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,352 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between February 2023 and February 2024, where the odometer rose from 136,383 to 142,402 miles. This indicates the car was driven more frequently during that twelve month window. Since April 2024, the mileage has remained static at 143,632 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been standing for over a year. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. The MOT record is unusually clean for a 1993 model, which often indicates a vehicle that has been well-preserved or one where deep structural corrosion has not been rigorously flagged. Given the car has been stationary since April 2024, you should check for seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished rubber bushings. Inspect the underbody specifically for corrosion in the sills and suspension mounting points. Low mileage cars that sit for long periods often suffer from moisture traps and surface rust. Verify the condition of the fluids and check for leaks around the engine and gearbox, as seals can dry out and shrink when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
