AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Toyota has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 9,448 miles. The vehicle's age and persistent safety-critical failures make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2023 (486 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, and a recent spike in mileage, indicating a major data integrity issue.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Brake pipe leaking (Jun 2025) — a critical safety failure.
- DANGEROUS defect: Front Brakes imbalanced (Jan 2019) — a major safety failure.
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Jan 2019) — a major safety failure.
- Recurring tyre failures: 7 advisories and 3 dangerous defects across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Consistent mileage trajectory post-2023, despite anomalies.
