2006 Toyota Voxy 2.0L Petrol · A19 NBH

A clean and consistent MOT record across the most recent four tests points to a vehicle that has maintained roadworthy condition reliably into its twentieth year, with passes recorded on 2026-02-23, 2025-02-25, 2024-02-28, and 2023-02-16, all without any advisories or defects noted by the examiner. The single failure on 2023-02-09 carries no recorded defect, which strongly suggests a retest situation where the vehicle was presented, failed initially on a minor or administrative item, and returned a week later to pass cleanly. The absence of any advisories whatsoever across six years of testing is notable for a vehicle of this age and mileage; advisory items such as corrosion, brake component wear, or suspension bush deterioration are commonly flagged on cars approaching or exceeding two decades, so the clean record implies either consistently good component condition or that advisories have not been recorded in the standard manner. Either way, the trend over the last three years is stable and trouble-free from an official testing perspective. Annual mileage of roughly 6,262 miles over a twenty-year span sits broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, neither exceptionally low nor unusually high. There are no apparent gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods off the road, which is an important consideration because extended standing can accelerate deterioration of brake components, seals, and underbody protection through corrosion and fluid degradation. The steady accumulation rate means consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and exhaust components should have worn at a moderate, predictable pace, and the drivetrain, although now at 125,239 miles, will have experienced regular thermal cycling rather than the prolonged cold-start stress associated with occasional use only. Mechanical wear should therefore be consistent with a working vehicle rather than one that has suffered from either neglect through disuse or accelerated wear through high annual mileage. Given that no specific components have been flagged in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on areas commonly affected on high-mileage Japanese MPVs of this generation, particularly the rear suspension bush assemblies and trailing arm linkages where age-related cracking and deterioration are frequently observed. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the rear axle over uneven surfaces, pay attention to any wandering or instability in crosswinds which can indicate worn rear bush geometry, and check for uneven tyre wear across the rear axle as a tell-tale sign of compromised suspension geometry. Inspect the underbody, sills, and subframe mounting points closely for any bubbling or perforation corrosion, as the lack of corrosion advisories does not preclude surface rust developing between tests, and examine the brake discs for lipping and the calipers for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear. Finally, verify the operation of the sliding side doors and tailgate, confirm all warning lamps extinguish promptly after engine start, and check for any oil misting around the cam cover or rear main seal area, as higher-mileage examples of this powertrain can develop minor seepage that, while not yet an MOT failure, warrants monitoring.
