Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- Pre-Catalyst Breakdown and Engine DamageSerious
Early cars can shed material from the manifold pre-cats, which may then be drawn back into the engine and score the bores.
- Early 1ZZ Oil ConsumptionSerious
Pre-facelift 1ZZ engines are known for oil burning, and a neglected low-oil history can quickly shorten engine life.
- Rear Subframe and Sill CorrosionModerate
UK cars can rust around the rear subframe, chassis legs and sill areas, especially if they have never been properly protected underneath.
