2012 Toyota GT86 2.0L Petrol · PJ12 ADE

The GT86 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 May 2025 at 124,203 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The May 2025 pass came only five days after a 2 May 2025 failure at 124,201 miles, yet the tester logged no defects on either entry. A near-identical pattern occurred on 21 February 2023, when the car failed and passed on the same day at 97,912 miles with no faults recorded. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns appear anywhere in the history. The mileage trace shows 97,912 miles at the February 2023 test, rising to 110,131 by 21 March 2024 and 124,203 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles in the first interval and 14,000 in the second, both above the lifetime average of 8,872 miles per year, indicating the car saw heavier use in its final two recorded years. The record is sparse, with only five tests across the vehicle's fourteen years, and the clean sheets with zero advisories mean we have little granular insight into wear on consumables or structural items between those dates. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the elevated recent annual mileage. The GT86's rear subframe is known to attract structural corrosion, and the MOT record's lack of any rust advisory does not confirm its condition, only that the tester did not flag it. Verify the 2 May and 21 February fail entries with DVSA to confirm they were administrative and not suppressed defects, then check tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
