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

This 2013 Toyota has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 39,520 miles. The recurring tyre and suspension advisories, combined with a DANGEROUS tyre defect, indicate significant underlying issues.

A critical 13-year-old mileage anomaly exists: 39,520 miles in Feb 2016, then 114,457 miles in Jan 2018, and a 5-year gap in valid MOTs, with a suspicious 114,338-mile decrease between May 2023 and May 2024.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2023 (394,681 mi) and May 2024 (280,343 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 114,338 miles between May 2023 (394,681 mi) and May 2024 (280,343 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
  • MOT history shows a 5-year gap (2018–2023) with no recorded tests, indicating a critical data integrity issue.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jan 2019) and multiple MAJOR failures (May 2022) for lights and brakes.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Current MOT is valid until April 2027, indicating it passed a recent test despite historical issues.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained since the last test.
  • Toyota models are generally known for their reliability and long-term durability, which could offset some of the MOT concerns.
