1996 TOYOTA CARINA2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1996 Toyota Carina is from 2008, over 15 years ago. No subsequent MOT records exist, meaning the vehicle has not been tested for roadworthiness in over a decade. This lack of recent data creates uncertainty about its current condition, particularly regarding safety-critical systems. The 2008 MOT records show repeated issues with lighting, steering, and tyres. A failed inspection cited low headlamp aim, a loose nearside front mirror, and play in the steering rack knuckles, alongside splitting wiper blades. A separate passed MOT on the same day noted similar minor defects, suggesting unresolved concerns. Earlier MOTs from 2007 and 2006 highlight tyre wear near legal limits and a failed rear fog lamp, indicating gradual deterioration in components like tyres and lighting. The defect pattern shows recurring problems with tyres, lighting, and steering, but no clear evidence of worsening trends. The 2006 MOT included a passed result with no defects, while 2007 and 2008 entries show increasing issues. However, the absence of post-2008 records prevents confirming whether these problems were addressed or escalated.
