2007 Toyota Alphard 3.0L Petrol · BW56 CZV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on June 12, 2026, at 129,656 miles passed with multiple advisories regarding front tyre wear and suspension bushings. While the vehicle passes its tests, the recurring presence of worn components and failures across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they approach or reach failure thresholds rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At approximately 19 years old, the recorded 129,656 miles represent an average annual usage of roughly 6,800 miles, which is consistent with a large MPV of this age. The data shows consistent use, with approximately 9,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 9,400 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This steady mileage pattern means the rubber components and mechanical seals are subject to age degradation rather than extreme mileage stress. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the tester flagged worn lower suspension arm pins and bushes in the 2026 test. These issues can lead to poor handling and accelerated tyre wear if not replaced. Furthermore, the history shows a previously severely deteriorated CV boot in 2025; the buyer should verify that this was replaced and that the driveshaft joint has not suffered grease loss, which would lead to a costly drivetrain failure. Brake maintenance shows a pattern of neglect, evidenced by failures for thin pads and pitted discs in both 2024 and 2025. The 2026 advisory for front tyres being worn close to the legal limit indicates that the entire set is nearing the end of its life. Given the age of the vehicle, the inspector should also check the underbody for structural corrosion, as the records do not explicitly detail the condition of the chassis mounting or exhaust system.
