This 2008 Toyota has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 16,783 miles. The very low annual usage (2,753 mi/yr) also raises questions about its maintenance history.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,753 miles per year, with a significant drop from 4,348 miles (Sep 2019) to 2,162 miles (Sep 2021), indicating inconsistent or limited use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2010-09-20 (brake hose corrosion).
  • Brake system repeatedly flagged for issues: 2010 advisory, 2013 failure, 2019 advisory.
  • Very low annual mileage (2,753 mi/yr) suggests limited use or potential neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2020) and wiper issues (2019, 2020) indicate ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, offering peace of mind for several years.
  • Consistent low mileage (16,783 mi over 18 years) suggests light use.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2010 brake issue.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) indicates a safe vehicle.
