99 Corolla was a pile of crap. I bought it at 80k on the basis of a report that it was the car that has the fewest MOT failures on record. The doors clanged when I shut them, it felt gutless and cheap generally. I could live with that but the water leak into the passenger footwell had to be eliminated. Spent months searching for the ingress point, finally tracking it down to a poorly sealed door hinge. Around this time I was alarmed by the unusually high oil consumption, it required topping up between services. I asked Toyota and they said it's normal to consume a litre of oil per 1000km 🤣 Needless to say, the engine expired a short time later with failed piston rings on cylinder 3 at 100k.
