The car has a long MOT until 28 September 2026 and is currently taxed until 1 September 2026. Mileage is around 207,000 miles, so it is a high-mileage example, but it starts, runs and drives well and has had useful recent maintenance.

Honest points:
It is a 2004 car with around 207k miles, so please expect age-related marks and wear. The steering wheel shows wear, and the latest MOT notes a rear registration plate lamp, front track rod end dust cover and a non-excessive oil leak advisory. Nothing hidden, just being upfront.
Overall, this is a smart-looking and usable Celica with a long MOT, recently replaced clutch, recent plugs, good tyres and plenty of character. Ideal as an affordable sporty daily, first coupe, enthusiast car or rolling project.
