2003 Toyota MR2 1.8L Petrol · FN53 OOG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 3 December 2025 at 104,315 miles passed with zero defects, continuing a streak of clean passes dating back to 2021. This consistency suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained, where the mechanical and safety components are not currently showing immediate failure under standard testing conditions. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 96,530 miles and December 2025 at 104,315 miles, the car covered only 7,785 miles. This consistent, low-intensity usage indicates light exposure which typically preserves the drivetrain, engine, and brake components. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid-related issues if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on areas common to low-mileage older cars. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, as moisture can settle even without high mileage. Because the car is used infrequently, the suspension bushes and tyre seals should be checked for cracking or dry rot rather than mechanical wear. Additionally, checking the brakes for seized or pitted calipers is necessary, as vehicles that sit stationary for long periods between tests often suffer from surface oxidation.
