2004 Toyota MR2 1.8L Petrol · WR04 DRV

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test on April 10 2026 at 54,157 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of perfect passes since 2021. This stability suggests that the vehicle has been maintained proactively without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,460 miles per year. Between December 2021 and April 2026, the car covered only 5,120 miles, indicating it is likely used as a fair-weather vehicle or has been stored for extended periods. Such low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, dry brake calipers, or fluid degradation not captured by a standard test. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation that stationary vehicles do not avoid. A thorough check of the chassis is required to identify structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches where moisture tends to collect on this model. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as low mileage does not prevent rubber components from becoming brittle over two decades.
