2004 Toyota Corolla 1.6L Petrol · GY04 AEG

The 2004 Toyota Corolla presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 115,707 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every MOT since at least September 2022 without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. Mileage sits at 115,707 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,259 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its age. The records show gentle annual accumulation: 108,459 miles on 20 September 2022, 111,765 by 20 September 2023, 115,022 on 25 September 2024, and 115,707 by September 2025. No rapid jumps or standing gaps appear; the clean pass history with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of tester advisories that often precede structural failure. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no binding or imbalance flags in the data. Exhaust emissions and flexible mountings should be checked for age-related degradation not captured by a clean MOT sheet. The duplicate 20 September 2022 entries show one failed and one passed test at identical mileage, with no defects listed on either; this administrative anomaly implies a retest same-day rather than a genuine fault. Treat the clean record as a positive but verify underneath with a ramp inspection before purchase.
