Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1987 Toyota MR2 MkI-b, finished in Dark Blue, features a 1.6L engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and several original components. With 127,715 miles, it comes with a comprehensive history file, though it has been off the road for a few years. The car requires some cosmetic attention and has MOT advisories for worn brake discs.
Condition
6
The car presents well for its age, with a tidy engine bay and presentable interior. However, the description notes some minor cosmetic areas needing attention and advisories for worn brake discs on the current MOT, suggesting it's not in pristine condition. The limited use in recent years and the need for some reconditioning further support a rating below 'Excellent'.
