Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2011 (51,934 mi) and May 2012 (40,859 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased from 51,934 mi (May 2011) to 40,859 mi (May 2012) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Dangerous brake failure (service brake excessively binding) recorded on 2012-05-05, a serious safety defect.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (fractured coil spring, excessively worn anti-roll bar ball joint) and exhaust system.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 2008 Toyota, as the record is marred by critical issues.
