2009 Toyota Estima 2.4L Hybrid electric · AX59 UJM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 25 May 2026 at 85,768 miles, confirming its legal roadworthiness. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has achieved five consecutive passes since 2022. While the most recent test was limited by covers preventing a full inspection of certain components, the lack of recorded defects suggests the owner has addressed previous concerns. The mechanical history indicates a proactive approach to upkeep, with no repeat failures recorded over the four-year period. With 85,768 miles accumulated over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,045 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a family-oriented MPV. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with annual increments typically ranging between 3,000 and 4,000 miles. This steady usage pattern is preferable to long-term storage, as it suggests the engine and drivetrain components have been exercised regularly rather than left to sit, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, specifically targeting the areas flagged during the 2025 test. Although the front track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints were noted as having slight play, these are common wear items on vehicles of this age and should be checked for any persistent knocking or uneven tyre wear. Given that the latest tester could not inspect all areas due to fitted covers, you must remove any interior or exterior shielding to verify the condition of the chassis for structural corrosion. Ensure the brake pads have been replaced since the 2025 advisory, as thin friction material will necessitate immediate attention to avoid scoring the discs.
