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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 88,714 miles. While it has a long service history, the vehicle's age and high usage present significant risks.

The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage, averaging 21,347 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2011 to 2014 (from 24,440 to 3,351 miles/year) and subsequent increases.

Things to check

  • High mileage (287k miles) for a 2004 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Oct 2007, Apr 2014, Apr 2016) suggest chronic issues.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories (Oct 2007, Apr 2014, Apr 2016) point to ongoing structural neglect.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Long service history evident from consistent MOT testing.
