2008 Toyota Corolla 2.2L Diesel · CA08 AOG

The vehicle remains roadworthy on the basis of the most recent MOT pass recorded on 2025‑11‑06 at 87,430 miles. All subsequent tests have returned a clean result, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring defects. The absence of any advisories or failures through five consecutive annual tests suggests consistent basic upkeep by previous owners. Mileage progression shows a low annual average of roughly 4,857 miles for an 18‑year‑old car. The recorded figures move from 78,074 miles in November 2021 to 80,840 miles in November 2022 (+2,766 mi), then to 83,225 miles in November 2023 (+2,385 mi), to 84,736 miles in November 2024 (+1,511 mi) and finally to 87,430 miles in November 2025 (+2,694 mi). The data is complete for each yearly window, with no significant gaps, and the modest yearly increments reflect light usage rather than heavy wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a hands‑on inspection of key wear‑prone areas. Examine the front and rear suspension bushes for cracking or excessive play, check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Look for signs of exhaust mounting corrosion, oil seepages at the engine mounts, and any rust affecting chassis components or floor panels. Verify that service records align with the mileage steps shown, ensuring that the low‑mileage claim is supported by actual maintenance activity.
