2009 Toyota Unknown 2.4L Petrol · T88 ACL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 4, 2026, at 94,981 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the immediate failure on that same day highlighted minor issues with a non-functional offside rear fog lamp and an inability to complete emissions tests. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these failures suggests the owner is proactive in addressing minor electrical and engine sensor faults to keep the car on the road. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low usage over the last three years, with only 6,063 miles recorded between the June 2023 and June 2026 tests. This low mileage-to-age ratio typically indicates less mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes cause rubber-based components to perish or fluids to degrade despite the low odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the steering system, as the June 2023 test at 88,918 miles flagged nearside play in the steering rack inner joints. While this may have been rectified, a physical test for steering precision or unusual noises is necessary to ensure the rack remains tight. The June 2025 advisory regarding cloudy headlamp lenses should also be checked, as light output can significantly diminish when plastic degrades over time. Given the age of the Toyota, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushings is advisable, as low mileage does not protect an older vehicle from environmental rust.
