Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the recent MOT note regarding aftermarket exhaust and shock absorbers, you should verify that these components were installed professionally and comply with UK road standards. Ask for receipts for these modifications and check if they have been factored into the vehicle's insurance profile.
Because the 2024 MOT highlighted multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit and a deteriorated suspension ball joint dust cover, you should check the current state of all four tyres and the condition of the suspension bushings. Ensure the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light mentioned in the July 2026 test is addressed, as this could indicate a faulty sensor or a slow leak.
As a 2.0L petrol sports car, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. You should expect moderate to high fuel consumption depending on driving style, and insurance groups for the GT86 tend to be higher due to its performance profile.
Maintenance costs may be influenced by the aftermarket parts fitted; while performance shocks can improve handling, they may require more frequent inspection. Budget for regular tyre replacements, as the MOT history suggests a tendency for tyres to reach the legal limit before being addressed.
Prioritise inspecting the suspension system. The 2024 MOT recorded a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, so check for any play in the steering or unusual knocks.
Examine the braking system thoroughly. The 2023 MOT failure involved a chafed and excessively twisted offside front brake hose; verify that all brake lines are correctly routed and free from damage. Additionally, check the TPMS system and the tread depth on all four tyres to ensure they are not approaching the limits seen in previous years.
This 2016 Toyota GT86 has covered 72,910 miles since its first registration in April 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues and suspension component wear, alongside a recent note regarding aftermarket exhaust and shock absorbers. While the 2025 test was defect-free, the 2024 and 2026 records indicate ongoing maintenance requirements.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota GT86 to provide a comparative benchmark.
