Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 30 years old and 255,885 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 1996 Starlet is a small supermini usually fitted with a 1.0–1.3 litre petrol engine and a 5‑speed manual — very simple mechanically compared with modern cars. That simplicity keeps parts and labour costs down in Ireland, but check the timing-belt service history, clutch condition and the usual corrosion spots because body panels and wiring can suffer after 30 years.
- Timing-belt replacement date and receipts — failure on older Toyota petrols can cause major engine damage.
- Clutch engagement and pedal travel — worn clutch or slipping is common on an older manual.
- Rust around sills, rear wheelarches, boot floor and hatch lower edge — look for bubbling paint, holes or repairs.
- Rear suspension bushes, shock absorbers and subframe for play or leaks — affects ride and safety.
- Gearbox: smooth selection through all gears and no crunching into first/reverse (worn syncros or clutch drag).
