2013 Toyota GT86 2.0L Petrol · X22 BCA

The 2013 Toyota GT86 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 78,904 miles passed with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 20 December 2024 at 75,419 miles and 8 January 2024 at 68,053 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its available history, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 78,904 against an approximate 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,070 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model. A notable gap exists between the 8 January 2024 test at 68,053 miles and the earlier 15 May 2019 pass at 68,040 miles, with only 13 miles logged across that five-year period. The May 2019 failure at 68,015 miles on 7 May, retested and passed eight days later at 68,040 miles with no defects listed, suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Sparse but clean records otherwise imply light, intermittent use rather than high-stress driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the vehicle's age and the extended 2019 to 2024 dormancy, which can accelerate corrosion on structural members and seizing of calipers. The GT86's rear-wheel-drive layout places specific load on differential mounts and subframe welds; these warrant close visual checks for rust pitting despite the absence of MOT advisories. Verify the 2019 failure reason via DVSA archives, as the record shows no defects yet a rejection occurred. Confirm service history covers fluid changes during the low-mileage gap, since standing periods degrade brake fluid and coolant independent of odometer readings.
