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 74% pass rate and 11,672 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes its MOT record highly suspicious and a significant risk.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage of 7,772 miles/year, averaging 11,672 miles over 18 years, which is unusually low for a 2008 vehicle.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-11-2019, escalating to failure in 2023.
- Six major brake failures and six related advisories across 12 MOT tests.
- Engine/Oil major failures in 2013 and 2023, with no subsequent clean passes.
- Consistent low annual mileage (7,772 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) for a 2008 vehicle is exceptional
