Description

Good mechanical condition. Valves lift as they should at around 6200rpm and pulls all the way to 8200rpm. Interior a bit tired in my opinion. Has a few marks, scratches on the exterior. Spoiler would benefit from a respray. The steering wheel audio control is not working as it has an aftermarket head unit. Plays music from usb stick or mobile phone. The climate control buttons can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but every function works ok including air con. It has an aftermarket trd gear shift knob. We own the car for over 4 years. Always fixed what needed to be fixed. I had a few things done. At 116662 miles: Crankshaft oil seal, Timing chain cover gasket, Water pump gasket, Oil sump gasket, Timing chain tensioner gasket. They are all common tsport problems. Now good for an other 10-15 years. At 117040 miles it had new front discs and pads. At 117896 miles Toyota health check and airbag recall. At 118314 miles it had the rear brake hoses done, stabiliser links, cv boot kit, brake fluid. Serviced every 6-7000 miles. I have all the bills for all the works been done. Except oils services. I do that myself. And there are a lots of paperwork from previous owners. We bought the car for my wife as a gap car. I always wanted one anyway. It was my wife's every day car and a toy for me in my free time. I drive boring hybrid for work. This is much more fun. Anyway, she ended up driving it for 3 years. We bought a hybrid Lexus for her last year. So the corolla is hardly been driven in the last 15 months. I don't have the time anymore. Running two businesses. The car sometimes not moving for 5-6 weeks. This is no life for such a car, so I'v decided to sell it. Kind of an every day 5 door corolla look, but instead of a 90hp 1.4 it is a 1.8 litre 190hp car. Next MOT due 27/09/2024, Part service history, Blue, 5+ owners, £2,250
