• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “GT86”, “GT86, MY2016”, “GT86 TRD, MY2013”, “GT86, MY2012”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Toyota GT86 safety recalls

DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Toyota GT86 since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 8 April 2019.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Toyota GT86. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
