This 2012 Toyota has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 25,582 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,076 miles/year, with a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent usage patterns that are highly unusual for a 2012 vehicle.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in suspension (coil spring, ball joint) and lighting systems across multiple tests.
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,076 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle, suggesting long-term inactivity.
- A 2020 MOT gap indicates the vehicle was likely off-road or not maintained during a critical period.
- Consistent pattern of electrical failures (lights, registration plate lamps) and washer issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
