Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The MOT history specifically notes issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers and rear axle swivel pins/bushes in previous years. Ensure these components have been replaced and that there is no play in the suspension when the vehicle is test-driven.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements and wheel alignment checks. The 2025 MOT recorded all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which can indicate alignment issues. Finally, verify that all wheel fixings (bolts/nuts) are present and secure, as a 2022 failure highlighted missing road wheel fixings on three separate wheels.
As a 2400cc gas-powered vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard petrol or diesel saloon. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, which is a significant factor for a large MPV like the Estima.
Tax and insurance groups for a vehicle of this engine size and age should be factored into your budget. Expect maintenance costs to be moderate, but be prepared for more frequent spending on suspension components and tyres given the recorded MOT history. The estimated annual running cost is roughly £1,600-£2,000 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Given the 2024 advisory regarding rear axle swivel pins and bushes, and the 2022/2024 failures regarding anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, you should check for perished rubber components and any signs of knocking or clunking over bumps.
Check the condition of the tyres and the wheels themselves. The 2025 MOT highlighted uneven tyre wear across all four corners, so look for signs of incorrect camber or toe settings. Additionally, ensure all wheel bolts are present and that the wheel hubs show no signs of damage from the previous missing fixing failures noted in 2022.
This 2008 Toyota Estima, finished in white, has covered 130,559 miles since its first registration in September 2008. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension-related advisories and failures, including anti-roll bar components and axle bushes. Although the 2026 test was passed with no defects, previous years indicate a need for regular maintenance of wear items.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota Estima to provide a comparative baseline.
