This 2008 Toyota has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 8,829 miles. The mileage history shows significant anomalies, particularly high usage in the early years, which is unusual for an 18-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows unusually high initial mileage (23,548 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2014 and again before Dec 2015, followed by significantly lower annual usage (1,000-2,000 mi/yr) from 2016 onwards, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2022) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2024), indicating chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad and disc advisories (Jan 2020, Sep 2020) suggest a history of neglect.
- Unusually high initial mileage (23,548 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2014 and again before Dec 2015 is a significant red flag.
- A 2023 MOT gap is noted, suggesting a period of unrecorded use or potential SORN.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-26, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No major structural corrosion or engine failures are evident in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing prompt owner attention.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2025 provides a strong safety foundation.
