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

This 2012 Toyota has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 40,189 miles. A significant mileage anomaly, where the car accumulated 24,509 miles in one year, is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows a normal annual usage of 7,286 miles/year until October 2024, but then a massive 24,509-mile jump occurred between October 2024 and October 2025, which is highly suspicious and points to potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 24,509 miles added in one year (Oct 2024–Oct 2025) — high risk of odometer fraud.
  • Recurring brake issues: 9 advisories for worn brake discs/pads across 4 tests (May 2015–Oct 2025).
  • Recurring tyre issues: 5 advisories for worn tyres across 2 tests (Oct 2021, Oct 2023).
  • Recurring wiper issues: 2 advisories for ineffective wipers across 2 tests (Oct 2020, Oct 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
