2001 Toyota MR2 1.8L Petrol · YP51 XJD

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 September 2025 at 94,678 miles with no recorded defects. The pattern of passes, interrupted only by a single failure on 29 August 2024 that yielded no specific advisories, indicates a stable maintenance trend; there is no evidence of escalating faults or recurring issues. Across a 25‑year lifespan the odometer reads 94,678 miles, equating to roughly 3,800 miles per annum – a notably low annual average for a sports‑type coupé. Mileage rose from 84,054 miles in September 2022 to 85,959 miles in September 2023, then to 86,409 miles in August 2024, before climbing to 94,678 miles by September 2025. The modest increase between 2022 and 2024 suggests gentle use, while the 8,269‑mile jump in the final year remains within reasonable limits for a vehicle of this age. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of wear‑related components that commonly deteriorate on a low‑mileage, older sports car. Inspect the suspension for any cracked or perished bushes and examine coil springs for sag or corrosion. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that calipers move freely without binding. Assess tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and look for any surface rust on the chassis, wheel arches, and under‑body that could compromise structural integrity. Finally, ensure the exhaust system is free of leaks and that all emission control devices operate correctly.
