AI verdict AVOID 37/100

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 21 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 13,554 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, coupled with a history of structural corrosion and brake issues, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,931 miles per year, with a significant anomaly of only 194 miles recorded between 2008 and 2013.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Mar 2022 advisory, Apr 2025 failure) and brakes (Mar 2022 advisory, Apr 2026 failure).
  • Extremely low mileage (13,554 miles in 18 years) suggests long periods of inactivity, accelerating corrosion.
  • Nearside Rear Outer Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Apr 2026 failure) — a serious structural integrity concern.
  • Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Apr 2026 failure) — indicates a significant safety-critical system failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing owner responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
