2012 Toyota GT86 2.0L Petrol · DC62 ASO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 97,415 miles resulted with with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in early 2022 were addressed and that the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of compliance through successive testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum to reach the current 97,415 mile mark. There is a notable gap in the testing history between August 2022 and November 2024, during which the car covered 14,608 miles without a formal MOT. However, the recent accumulation of 605 miles between the November 2024 and 2025 tests suggests regular, light use which often helps prevent the seal issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly to ensure the previous faults have not recurred. The January 2022 failure flagged a noisy nearside front wheel bearing and oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While these passed in subsequent tests, a physical check should verify there is no remaining play in the bearing or any fresh weeping from the shock absorber seals. Additionally, given the age of the vehicle, a structural check of the undertrays and mounting points for significant corrosion is advisable, as these were specifically noted as blocking views to components during the 2022 inspection.
