2004 Toyota Celica 1.8L Petrol · EY54 PVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related component degradation. The most recent test in September 2025 at 90,123 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories for corrosion on both rear coil springs. This follows a period of two clean records in 2023 and 2024, indicating that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound, the suspension is beginning to succumb to the effects of its age. At 90,123 miles over 22 years, this Celica has seen exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent between 2022 and 2025, with annual increments ranging between 1,000 and 2,000 miles. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the premature failure of rubber-based components and metal due to time-based exposure to the elements rather than sheer physical tear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and rubber seals based on the history of faults. The 2022 failure for a severely deteriorated ball joint dust cover and the subsequent 2025 advisory for corroded coil springs indicate that the lower chassis components are points of concern. You must check for cracking in the arm boots and shock absorbers to ensure no further deterioration has occurred since the last test. Given the low usage, also verify the state of the brake discs and calipers for surface seizing, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from internal corrosion and binding brakes.
