Downfalls of a 2004 Toyota Corolla?

Asked by Imeraan Mohamed ยท

Expert answer

Hi Imeraan,

Generally, the Corolla of that age is pretty solid, but it's getting on in years now so you should watch out for high oil consumption, brake issues and rough running that could be because of dodgy mass airflow meters or oxygen sensors. Parts of the suspension are likely to be worn out. The springs and dampers may have been replaced, but bushings are often overlooked and if these are worn then it'll greatly affect how the car rides and handles.
