Things to check

  • High annual mileage (13,454 miles/year) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Dec 2007, Dec 2008, Dec 2009) indicate a pattern of wear.
  • Major failure for windscreen (Dec 2011) is a significant safety concern.
  • Vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent pass record across 8 MOT tests, showing no major structural failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, despite high annual usage.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2004 Toyota is a strong positive for safety.
