This 2004 Toyota has 30 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 24,526 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (4,758 miles/yr) for a 22-year-old car, combined with a 6-year MOT history gap, presents significant unverified risks.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,758 miles/yr, with a 6-year MOT history gap (2018-2024) and suspiciously low usage (e.g., 1,314 miles in 2022).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 4 test failures within 12 months (Jul 2018 – Jun 2019)
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2025-07-25 and 2025-08-04 indicate severe neglect.
- Dangerous brake failures on 2025-07-25 and 2025-08-04 point to critical safety issues.
- Recurring anti-roll bar bush advisories (2020, 2025) and coil spring advisories (2025) suggest chronic structural wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-08-04, despite the dangerous defects.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
