Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 22-year-old MR2 has covered a genuine-looking 105,000 miles, around 4,800 per year. That is low-mileage for its age, which can mean long periods of standing or very gentle use rather than hard driving. The most recent test on 7th May 2026 was a failure with a long list of items. The car then went directly to 105,561 miles, so it has barely moved. This is a warning: the seller either had the work done quickly and got a pass without a fresh MOT record showing, or the car is currently sitting with a failure notice. You must confirm the current MOT status. The mechanical pattern is clear and recurring. Brake discs at both axles were flagged as "badly deteriorated" in 2022 and again as "surface corrosion" in the 2026 failure. Rear tyres were worn to the legal limit in both 2022 and 2026. The failure also added non-working lights, ineffective wipers, and a headlamp aim fault.
