1994 Toyota MR2 2.0L Petrol · M255 AVV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of structural degradation and fluid leaks. While the most recent test in October 2024 at 115,872 miles passed, the record notes worn front inner brake discs and a misting nearside rear shock absorber. The presence of an oil leak in every single test result from 2020 to 2024 suggests a chronic issue that the previous owners have opted to monitor rather than rectify. At 32 years old, the recorded mileage of 115,872 miles represents very low usage, approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low annual mileage often correlates with the aging of rubber-based components, as seen in the 2022 advisory regarding perished tyres and corroded fuel pipes. There is a notable two-year gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests, indicating the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which typically accelerates oxidation and corrosion rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and underside. The 2022 test flagged significant corrosion on the offside rear inner structure and general underside rust, though the 2023 record shows subsequent repairs and sealing of the sills. It is vital to verify if these repairs were cosmetic or if active rot is progressing beneath the sealant. The recurring mention of rear suspension arm bushes in 2023 indicates that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life and will require replacement to maintain stable handling.
