2013 Toyota GT86 2.0L Petrol · RX13 SZZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension integrity. While the car passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 118,131 miles, this followed two significant failures within a two-month window. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of mechanical failures in 2025 indicates that the lower-related components have reached the end of their operational life, requiring reactive rather than preventative maintenance to remain legal. At a recorded mileage of 118,131 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. However, the data shows a sharp increase in activity between May 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered over 9,000 miles in just fourteen months. This period of use likely correlates with the rapid degradation of the components, as seen in the May 2024 failure where all four tyres were flagged for being near the legal limit and showing uneven shoulder wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry to ensure the repairs made after the July 2025 failure were comprehensive. The record shows multiple fractured and corroded coil springs across both axles, suggesting a potential issue with material fatigue or environmental corrosion on the metalwork. Attention should also be paid to the nearside rear exhaust. A minor leak at the box join was first noted in May 2025 and persisted through the July 2025 pass, indicating the issue was monitored rather than fully rectified and may require a replacement to prevent future emissions failures.
