This 2008 Toyota has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 133,294 miles.

The vehicle shows a high total mileage of 133,294 miles, with a significant drop in annual usage (143 miles/yr equivalent) before September 2020, and a subsequent spike in 2021.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2026-04-29 — vehicle is currently illegal to drive on public roads.
  • High total mileage (133,294 mi) — indicates significant wear and tear on major components.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar linkage and headlamp issues — suggests ongoing electrical/mechanical concerns.
  • 2022 service gap — indicates potential for future maintenance costs.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent high annual mileage (11,266 mi/yr) — indicates regular use, not prolonged storage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering — mileage appears
