2008 Toyota Estima 2.4L Petrol · FB57 YLA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 155,879 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, a significant improvement over the mechanical issues noted in previous years. This suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed the wear and tear previously flagged by testers, moving the vehicle into a clean operational state. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. The record shows steady accumulation of use, moving from 65,446 miles in September 2021 to 130,027 miles in September 2024, followed by another 25,000 miles before the 2025 test. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has likely not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals, rubber components, and fluid systems. A buyer should perform a focused physical inspection of the front steering geometry, as the history shows recurring issues between 2021 and 2022 regarding play in the track rod ends, drag link, and rear suspension arm bushes. While these were cleared in the latest tests, the repetitive nature of these faults suggests the suspension components are a known wear point on this chassis. Additionally, given the history of uneven tyre wear in 2021 and 2023, a professional wheel alignment check is advisable to ensure the current tyres are not prematurely scrubbing.
