Having 4 owners means diddly. They all could have maintained it or not, look at the service records. While they do have a good reputation for reliability, Corollas are also known to be very boring, dull cars. Maybe that's why it kept getting sold.

Great job at finding the needle, now put the hay back.
Do you really think someone didn't realize it was a boring car until after they bought it?? "Maybe that's why it kept getting sold"
Maybe they won the lottery, fixed everything and wanted a great car go to a new owner? Maybe they even stashed some cash in it for the new owner.
Maybe we should just stick to what USUALLY happens. IT DOES mean that there were 4 different periods of time where each owner was getting rid of the car. 15/16 records for a 16 yr old car is nothing, Oil changes alone should be twice that, (going off time not just mileage). Routine maintenance should also be twice that. Then comparing that to a vehicle that has been inspected by a mechanic.....
