2023 Toyota 4-Runner 4.0L Petrol · AE72 EJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent certification, though the history indicates a period of minor neglect regarding external fitments. Following a failed September 2023 test at 10,983 miles, the vehicle passed its retest immediately after addressing lighting and trim defects. The maintenance trend appears stable as the faults recorded were limited to non-mechanical consumable components and missing reflectors rather than mechanical failure or structural degradation. At 10,983 miles over three years, the vehicle has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,660 miles per year. This low usage suggests minimal wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain, suspension, and brake system. However, low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary can suffer from flat-spot tyres or corrosion on the brake discs if they have not been driven for long periods between tests. A buyer should physically inspect the exterior lighting array and side indicators to verify that the faults identified in the 2023 failure were not rectified with temporary fixes. Specifically, check that the missing side repeaters, fog lamp assembly, and switch have been replaced with genuine or correct-specification parts. Given the low mileage, a visual inspection of the brake rotors for surface rust and a check of the tyre sidewalls for cracking is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of storage.
