2002 Toyota Celica 1.8L Petrol · FP02 UHM

The 2002 Toyota Celica presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 101,501 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 October 2024 at 96,528 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 101,501 against 24 years of age, an average of roughly 4,229 miles per year. The history shows light annual use: 88,244 miles in October 2022, 92,295 in October 2023, 96,513 at the failed attempt of 3 October 2024, then 96,528 the next day on retest, and 101,501 by September 2025. The single failure on 3 October 2024 carried no defects and was reversed within 24 hours, suggesting an administrative or metering anomaly rather than mechanical neglect. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of recurring consumable or structural issues. Low mileage over long periods raises specific inspection points despite the absent advisories. A buyer should examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts for perishing from standing, and check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after disuse. The 22-year-old structure warrants a close look at sills, arches, and floorpan for rust given the vehicle's age. Verify the 3 October 2024 failure reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect entry is irregular. Otherwise, the Celica's MOT trail implies careful, low-use ownership with no flagged mechanical or emissions concerns across the observed five-year span.
