2004 Toyota Corolla 1.4L Petrol · AK04 AYS

The Toyota Corolla presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 30 March 2024 at 161,879 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, as every pass and the single failure show clean sheets with no advisories or recurring mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared its test roughly fifteen months before today's date, so the certificate remains current but will require renewal by late March 2025. Mileage sat at 146,553 on 10 February 2022, rose to 155,312 by 13 February 2023, and reached 161,879 by the March 2024 tests, giving annual use of about 7,300 to 8,500 miles. This aligns with typical Corolla wear for a 2004 model and shows no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The record is sparse yet clean, with only four entries and no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns raised at any stage. The March 2024 failure at 161,877 miles carries no recorded defect, which suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the car passed eighteen days later. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as a 22-year-old vehicle with 161,879 miles may hide age-related deterioration the MOT did not capture. Verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road test, and confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet legal limits despite no advisories being noted.
