Toyota Corolla, 2004, Espoo

The car is returning to auction because the previous winning bidder had to cancel their bid for reasons unrelated to the car.

This car still has a thousand stories to tell; it only lacks a listener.

Toyota. Corolla. Finnish car. The holy trinity of Finnish motoring, trusted for decades.

Just run-in Toyota Corolla 1.6 VVT-i up for auction. It has had only a few previous owners. Genuine Finnish car with a clean history, never involved in an accident.

A little work will make this a car for a long time to come. Holds its value like a gold bar.

+Comprehensive service history! See photos

+In excellent condition for its age

+Working air conditioning

+No tow bar, so it has not been abused towing a detached house behind it

+Engine block and cabin heater + fan!

The car has age- and use-related faults and repair needs.

The inspector still found a little work to do, but a national treasure like this should not be scrapped because of one rejection notice.

• Rust damage in the right rear wheel arch; welding repair required. The weld must be presented at the inspection.

• Right front brake disc excessively worn; must be replaced.

• Play in the left front anti-roll bar mounting (repair advisory).

• Rear brake discs close to the wear limit.

  
  

The car failed its inspection on 13/10/2026. Sold with the above defects for repair. Further findings and photos are included in the attachments.
