2009 TOYOTA REGUS3.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 April 2025 at 139,765 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the transition to consecutive clean passes suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional operational standard. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 139,765 miles represents an average of approximately 8,221 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to extreme motorway stress. The gap between the April 2023 test at 134,430 miles and the April 2025 test shows an accumulation of 5,335 miles over two years, which confirms consistent but relatively light usage that prevents rapid degradation of rubber components from long standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in April 2023 and 2024, although the specific defect codes are not provided in this summary. Given the age of the Toyota, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential as corrosion is a common point of failure for this era. One should also look for signs of weeping in suspension bushes or perished brake calipers, as the consistent mileage suggests these components are nearing intervals requiring periodic replacement despite the low annual mileage.
