2005 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · AR05 GYA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a gradual degradation of suspension components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 105,321 miles passed with an advisory for rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear, this indicates a lack of recent attention to alignment or tyre replacement. The overall history is stable in terms of passing, but the mechanical advisories are increasingly frequent over the last four years. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,321 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025, and approximately 9,000 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This low mileage often masks age-related rubber degradation and dry rot in bushes, which aligns with the recurring issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside suspension arm pins and bushes. The rear axle swivel bushes also appeared in 2021 and 2023, suggesting the entire suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life due to age rather than distance. The uneven wear on the rear tyres noted in 2025 further points to a potential alignment issue or worn components that require immediate adjustment to prevent further premature tyre failure.
