2021 Toyota Proace 2.0L Diesel · ND21 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests, conducted on 26 March 2026 , reveal an unusual but technically non-threatening anomaly: a single pass followed immediately by a fail at identical mileage (37,769), with no recorded defects in either instance. This suggests either a rare administrative or system glitch rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests in March 2025 (23,715 miles) and March 2024 (16,755 miles) both passed without failings, indicating a stable maintenance history over the past two years. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, which implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding brakes, or structural corrosion—common failure points for vans of this age. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 7,554 miles , which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this type and age. There are no concerning gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, though the record only spans three tests over two years. Without earlier data, it is impossible to confirm whether the vehicle was stored or lightly used in its first year. The most recent 14,000 miles (from 23,715 to 37,769) were covered in under a year, suggesting active use, which may accelerate wear on consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of braking systems , particularly the rear calipers and discs, as the double-test anomaly could hint at undetected binding or uneven wear. The suspension—including bushes, dampers, and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, especially at the wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity. Tyres should be examined for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, as failing twice on tread depth in prior tests (if any) would indicate neglect. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are common failure points in vans with higher mileage. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a professional inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear.
