AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Toyota has 28 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 21,466 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and past maintenance issues warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,849 miles per year, with a notable 2024 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings that suggest periods of inactivity or potential odometer anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (9 times) and brakes (6 advisories) across multiple tests.
  • Major brake failure (disc seriously weakened) on 2010-03-13, followed by brake pad failures.
  • Significant 2024 service gap with no MOT recorded, raising concerns about maintenance.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,849 mi/yr) for a 22-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and passed on subsequent tests.
