1990 Toyota Camry 2.0L Petrol · G441 BLO

The vehicle last passed MOT on 21 December 2024 at 80,111 miles. The test recorded an oil leak (8.4.1 (a)(i)), light misting of the nearside rear shock absorbers (5.3.2 (b)), and worn front brake disc (1.1.14 (a)(i)). These items have appeared in the past two annual tests, indicating a stable pattern of minor faults rather than a worsening condition. No new serious defects have emerged, so the car remains roadworthy but with known advisories. Over the vehicle’s life the mileage has risen from 47,609 miles in December 2012 to 80,111 miles in December 2024, an average increase of roughly 2,225 miles per year. The MOT entries are annual until 2024, with a gap of about 1 year 7 months to the present date, so the most recent test is still relatively recent. The low annual mileage suggests light use and limited wear on high‑stress components. A buyer should inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil misting, check the front brake discs for wear, and examine all tyres for edge wear and cracking, especially the nearside rear and both front tyres that have been flagged repeatedly. The front oil leak should be examined for source and severity, and the chassis area near the rear suspension should be inspected for corrosion noted in the 2022 test. Finally, verify that the registration plate lamp and washer system function, as these were previously failed items.
