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

This 2009 Toyota has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 13,321 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (4,290 miles/yr) for a 17-year-old car is a significant red flag for long-term neglect.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,290 miles/yr, averaging only 13,321 miles over 17 years, which is a major concern for a 2009 car.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 6 failures and 11 recurring advisories on critical safety systems (lights, suspension, tyres).
  • MILEAGE: Only 13,321 miles recorded in 17 years, indicating prolonged inactivity and potential corrosion.
  • LIGHTS: 3 major failures and 6 related advisories for position lamps and headlamps, escalating from PRS to MAJOR.
  • SUSPENSION: 1 major failure and 10 related advisories for a fractured coil spring and subframe corrosion.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until April 2027, offering immediate roadworthiness.
  • NO ODOMETER FRAUD: Mileage trajectory is consistent with no suspicious drops or round numbers, though usage is very low.
  • RECENT PASS: The most recent MOT test on 2026-04-29 passed without any failures or major advisories.
  • LONG-TERM RELIABILITY: Toyota models are renowned for their long-term reliability and durability, despite this car's history.
