1988 Toyota MR2 1.6L Petrol · E424 KDL

This 1988 Toyota MR2 demonstrates exceptional roadworthiness, maintaining a stable and flawless maintenance trend anchored by a clean pass on October 23, 2025 at 40,192 miles. The test record reveals zero defects, advisories, or minor rectifications across the board, which indicates meticulous care and proactive remediation by previous keepers. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent, low-use trajectory averaging roughly one thousand miles annually over the five-year testing window. The vehicle covered 1,805 miles between October 2021 and November 2023, followed by 1,433 miles through to October 2024, and a modest 1,254 miles leading to the most recent test. This steady progression dispels concerns regarding prolonged periods of dormant storage that typically afflict classic sports cars of this vintage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to age-related degradation regardless of low mileage. Given the mid-engine layout, check the cooling system lines running beneath the floorpan for corrosion, along with the brake discs and calipers for any signs of surface rust or sticking from infrequent heavy braking. Overall, this MOT history reflects an exceptionally well-preserved classic that avoids the chronic failure loops often seen in older vehicles. The lack of recurring advisories suggests that previous owners addressed mechanical wear promptly, leaving the vehicle in a strong mechanical condition for its age.
