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

This 2009 Toyota has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 12,385 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and tyre advisories, coupled with a 17-year age, warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,411 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (2024, 2025, 2026) and a 2025 exhaust leak indicate ongoing wear.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (2022, 2023, 2026) suggest a history of poor maintenance or alignment issues.
  • The 17-year-old vehicle will likely require significant upcoming maintenance and repairs.
  • The 2025 exhaust leak and 2025 insecure exhaust system failures highlight potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged storage.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
