2014 Toyota GT86 2.0L Petrol · YR64 RYO

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a clean pass on March 30, 2026, at 83,966 miles. Maintenance trends show signs of improvement after a period of instability in previous years. While the 2024 and 2025 tests identified specific mechanical failures, the absence of any advisories in the most recent inspection indicates that the owner has addressed the primary mechanical and structural issues previously flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old sports car, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 4,237 miles, while an additional 4,086 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps protect components from the dry rot and degradation of rubber seals often seen in low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should perform a close visual inspection of the engine oil leak noted in April 2025. Although the tester deemed the leak not excessive at that time, persistent leaks on Toyota Boxer engines require monitoring for potential cover gasket or sump seal degradation. The rear suspension also warrants a physical check, as the 2025 failure revealed a fractured offside coil spring and corrosion on the nearside unit. Ensure these components were replaced with high-quality parts and that no further corrosion is developing on the suspension mounting points. The exhaust system previously suffered a major leak in March 2024. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the buyer should check for signs of heat damage or rust around the manifold and hangers. Given the car's nature and age, verifying the chassis for structural integrity is also essential to ensure that the corrosion noted on the coil springs was not indicative of deeper structural issues.
