2019 Toyota Proace 1.5L Diesel · FA19 XFB

The vehicle currently holds roadworthiness following a successful pass in April 2026 at 46,600 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The car failed just one week prior at 46,431 miles due to a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber. While this issue was rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the history indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 46,600 miles over seven years, the Toyota Proace has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for a commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent between tests, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between April 2024 and 2025, and another 9,300 miles between 2025 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been under excessive stress, though the low mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and rubber components. The 2024 failure flagged three tyres for cracking or perishing, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for long periods or been exposed to environmental damage despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection of the remaining shock absorbers for similar fluid leaks is essential, as the offside rear unit has already demonstrated a failure. Additionally, verify the wiper blades and headlamp alignment to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive.
