AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Toyota has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 18,583 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a lack of detailed service history, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,038 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years from 6,800 miles (2020-2021) to just 1,720 miles (2022).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2025): Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both side (5.2.3 (e))
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 2012 and 2025 MOT tests.
- Recurring major failures for lights (2024, 2025) and emissions (2024, 2025).
- Brake system advisories (2023, 2026) and suspension advisories (2026) are recurring.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
