2004 Toyota MR2 1.8L Petrol · GV04 YCC

This 2004 Toyota MR2 shows a remarkably clean MOT history for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it has been well-maintained by previous owners. With only 81,560 miles recorded over 22 years, the car has seen very light annual usage. While low mileage often indicates a well-preserved vehicle, it can also suggest long periods of inactivity, which may lead to seized components or perished rubber parts that do not always show up immediately on an MOT test. The mechanical trend is stable and generally positive. The most recent MOT in October 2025 resulted in a pass after a minor failure regarding parking brake efficiency. This was rectified immediately, indicating that the owner is proactive about addressing safety-critical issues. The only other recorded advisories occurred in 2022, concerning slightly chafed rear brake hoses. Given that these were not flagged in subsequent tests, it is likely they were replaced or monitored effectively. The primary risk with a car that covers such low annual mileage is the potential for neglected maintenance due to lack of use. You should be mindful of the age of the tyres, the condition of the fluids, and whether the braking system has suffered from corrosion due to sitting idle for extended periods.
