2007 Toyota Estima 2.4L Petrol · FB57 YLL

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful test in March 2026, however, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive care. The failure on March 3, 2026, at 116,702 miles revealed a high density of immediate defects including lighting, wiper assemblies, and suspension components. While the vehicle passed the re-test the following day, the volume of faults identified in a single session suggests the owner addresses issues only when they prevent legal compliance rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 116,706 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,142 miles, which is consistent with light usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows significant bursts of activity recently, with 18,551 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 14,844 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally benefits engine seals and prevents, though the age still impacts rubber components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the 2026 failure flagged both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers as perished. This indicates the start of rubber degradation which will lead to premature joint failure and knocking knock if not monitored. The 2024 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres further reinforces that rubber components on this vehicle suffer from age-related material rot rather than just wear. Verify the operation of the headlamp aim and the wiper motors, as these were specific points of failure in the most recent inspection cycle.
