Our Verdict
The 2016 Toyota GT86 offers strong performance and handling for enthusiasts, but its higher-than-average mileage and past tyre/brake issues require careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritise checking the tyre condition, as past MOTs highlight edge wear on multiple tyres. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, particularly the front disc replaced in 2024. Verify service history for regular maintenance, especially oil changes and suspension checks. Negotiate based on mileage and consider a pre-purchase inspection to assess wear on the boxer engine and transmission. Be cautious of potential electrical issues common in older Toyotas.
As a petrol-powered 2.0-litre engine, the GT86 offers decent fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg) but falls into a higher insurance group (typically 15-20). Tax is £155 annually (2026 rates for 1998cc petrol engines). Maintenance costs are moderate, but replacement tyres (215/45/17 size) and brake components may be pricier. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the tyres for uneven wear patterns, as past MOTs show edge damage. Check the brake system for consistent pad thickness and disc warping. Inspect suspension components for wear, particularly the rear shocks given the age. Examine the engine bay for oil leaks or corrosion. Verify that all MOT certificates match the vehicle's VIN and registration details.
This GT86 has a clean recent MOT history with no defects in its last two annual checks, but older records show minor tyre wear and a worn front brake disc. At 63,171 miles, the mileage is above average for a 10-year-old vehicle, though the car has been well-maintained. No aggregate reliability data is available for the model, but its sporty credentials remain appealing.
While no aggregate MOT data exists for the Toyota GT86, the model is generally regarded as reliable for its performance-focused design, though older examples may require attention to suspension and electrical systems.
