2004 Toyota Corolla 1.4L Petrol · FA04 UBZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently compromised by a persistent and worsening mechanical trend, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-10-27 failing to meet safety standards. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance since the last inspection and is currently exhibiting signs of structural degradation. The persistent failure to pass the MOT on 2025-10-27, combined with the 2024-11-01 test, suggests that the vehicle is in an unstable state of wear rather than a stable maintenance history. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 110,796 miles since its last MOT on 2025-10-27. This figure places the vehicle at roughly 5,036 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the 22-year-old age of the car, suggesting that the mileage has accelerated or the vehicle has been driven less frequently. The data is sparse and clean, with no gaps in the log, but the rapid accumulation of miles over a short period indicates that the vehicle has likely been driven for a short duration, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for critical structural and mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the rear suspension, brakes, and undercarriage. The MOT record reveals severe corrosion and wear on the rear subframe, axle mounts, and inner sill areas, which are critical structural components. The persistent failure to pass the MOT on 2025-10-27, coupled with the 2024-11-01 test, indicates that the vehicle is in an unstable state of wear rather than a stable maintenance history. The recurring faults, including corrosion of the rear subframe and axle mounts, suggest that the vehicle requires urgent inspection and potential replacement of these critical parts to prevent further structural failure.
