This is a well-kept 1999 Toyota Corolla 1.3 SE Limited Edition - a proper example of late-90s Toyota reliability. I'm only selling because I'm going travelling, otherwise I'd happily keep it.
If you're looking for a simple, dependable, mechanically sound car that just works, this is it.
Condition & Recent Work
The car has just had significant mechanical work completed following its most recent MOT. The previous test highlighted a number of major items, including brake system components and a rear sill seatbelt anchorage area.
All required repairs were professionally carried out, including:
Brake pipes replaced front to rear
Major brake system overhaul (service brake efficiency restored well above required standard)
Headlamp alignment corrected
Rear sill/seatbelt anchorage area repaired properly
Around 760 was spent to ensure everything was done correctly.
Following this work, the car passed its MOT with no major defects and no advisories, meaning it is now in perfectly sound mechanical and operational condition. The expensive, safety-critical jobs have already been handled, so as the next owner, you won't need to worry about them.
