2008 Toyota Corolla 2.2L Diesel · FN08 KCF

The most recent MOT entry on 24 February 2022 at 175,813 miles shows a passed test with no defects recorded, yet the same date also logs a failed test at identical mileage with no defects listed. This contradictory pairing leaves the true roadworthiness status unresolved. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving because the only two records sit on one day and show no advisory or failure detail to track. The odometer read 175,813 miles at the February 2022 test, giving a lifetime average near 9,767 miles per year against an 18-year-old chassis. That figure is roughly typical for the age. The record shows no earlier entries, so we cannot judge rapid accumulation or long idle periods. A four-year gap to today's date means the car has likely covered unknown miles with no official test evidence since. A buyer must verify why the DVSA logged both a pass and a fail on 24 February 2022 with zero defects noted, as this often signals a clerical reversal or an emissions retest with missing data. Given the age and 175,813 miles, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion for fatigue. Check brake discs and calipers for binding, and confirm the exhaust emissions meet limits under load. Without advisory history we cannot chart recurring faults. Treat the clean sheet as unverified. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise structural integrity and drivetrain wear before any commitment.
