2005 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · AR05 GYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having a clean pass in its most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 100,652 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a mechanical failure in August 2024. While the vehicle previously struggled with issues regarding headlamp alignment and power steering fluid levels, the subsequent pass with no recorded advisories suggests that the owner owner addressed these specific mechanical concerns to bring the car up to standard. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,652 miles represents an average of approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a modest increase of only 5,605 miles between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage often indicates less internal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between uses or tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes, which are not captured by the odometer alone. A physical inspection should focus on the power steering system, as the tester flagged it for being near the minimum mark in 2024. The buyer must check for fluid leaks around the rack and hoses to ensure the system is not gradually failing. Additionally, the 2022 record noted three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges, which often points to tracking issues or worn suspension geometry. Given the age of the Alphard, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the lower sills is essential, as the MOT history does not detail the current state of the underbody.
