2002 Toyota Corolla 1.4L Petrol · GX52 AUT

The Toyota Corolla presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 22 May 2023 at 111,131 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures in spring 2022 and 2023 that carried no recorded defects, suggesting the car was presented without fault but failed on non-mechanical grounds such as documentation or tester error. No worsening mechanical condition is evident from the data. At roughly 24 years old, the vehicle shows 111,131 recorded miles, an average of about 4,630 miles per year. The odometer moved just 1,823 miles between the April 2021 test at 107,308 miles and the May 2023 pass at 111,131 miles. Such low annual use for its age points to light running or extended periods off the road. The record is sparse and clean, with only five entries and no advisories or worn consumables flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the age and likely standing periods that low mileage implies. The tester noted no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet twenty-four years of age on a Japanese hatchback commonly hides underbody rust unseen in a pass certificate. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, as the car cleared every test where it recorded mileage and never failed on tyres, binding calipers, or similar consumable neglect. The repeated zero-defect failures without listed faults warrant a check of the V5C and test station notes, but the mechanical picture from DVSA data alone remains sound.
