2010 Toyota Corolla 1.8L Petrol · CY59 WYP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 135,635 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following three consecutive years of defect-free results since 2023. This indicates that any previous issues with consumables have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 50,222 miles in January 2017 to the current 135,635 miles. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing cycle, and the incremental increases between tests, such as the 9,332-mile jump between February 2025 and February 2026, suggest regular, predictable road use rather than long periods of inactivity. Historical records show a trend of minor consumable wear rather than serious mechanical or structural failures. Between 2018 and 2022, the tester flagged several issues involving tyres and front brake pads. Specifically, the 2021 test noted thin front brake pads and worn tyres, while the 2022 test involved a failure due to a nearside front tyre and a non-functional position lamp. These faults represent standard wear and tear for a vehicle of this age and do not suggest underlying issues with the braking system or suspension geometry, provided the tyres were replaced as required. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the remaining brake pad thickness to ensure current maintenance matches the recent clean MOT history. While the record is clear of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, checking the condition of suspension bushes and shock absorbers would be prudent given the total mileage. The absence of any advisories in the last three years suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, but a visual check for any new underside corrosion remains standard practice for a car of this vintage.
