This 2016 Toyota has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 42,305 miles. While these were addressed, the high mileage for its age and the nature of these recurring faults warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,634 miles/year, with a significant spike of 38,798 miles in 12 months (Mar 2023 to Feb 2024), indicating heavy commercial or high-mileage private use.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension/steering issues: Track rod end ball joint (Mar 2022, Feb 2024), anti-roll bar link (Feb 2024), and parking brake efficiency (Mar 2022).
- High annual mileage: 16,634 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, indicating heavy wear and tear.
- Recent high mileage spike: 38,798 miles in 12 months (Mar 2023 to Feb 2024) suggests a period of intense use.
- Multiple failures in critical safety systems: Brakes (Mar 2022), Steering (Mar 2022, Feb 2024), and Suspension (Feb 2024).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- No persistent DANGEROUS defects remaining after immediate retest passes.
