2002 Toyota Corolla 1.4L Petrol · FX02 TGK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 March 2025 at 118,993 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just four days prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recurring advisories or failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,958 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 104,052 miles and March 2024 at 111,742 miles, the car covered 7,690 miles, which represents a slight increase in the annual average but remains within reasonable limits for light use. The low overall mileage indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though age-related components such as rubber bushings and seals may be subject to time-based degradation rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older Toyotas are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, the lack of recorded advisories means the buyer must manually check the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and exhaust system for surface rust. Given the intervals between tests, also inspect for brake caliper seizing or fluid degradation to ensure that low use has not led to perished components or internal corrosion within the braking system.
