2005 Toyota Previa 2.4L Petrol · FN05 UAK

The Toyota Previa presents a current roadworthy status following the January 2026 test at 102,045 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. A buyer should note the odd pattern of a failed entry and a passed entry logged on the same day at 102,045 miles on 27 January 2026, and again on 3 January 2025 at 80,923 miles, though neither failure listed any defects, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. Mileage sits at 102,045 over roughly 21 years, an average of about 4,859 per year, which is low for a 2005 people carrier. The record shows 62,093 miles at the December 2023 test, rising to 80,923 by January 2025 and 102,045 by January 2026, giving around 21,000 miles in the final year. That late surge breaks the prior low-use pattern and implies the car stood lightly for years then entered regular service. The sparse history with three passes and two same-day fails carries no advisories, so the DVSA data alone shows no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects. Given the age and the 2025 to 2026 mileage jump, a buyer should physically inspect the front coil springs, track-rod ends, and subframe mounts for fatigue from prolonged standing followed by harder use. Check the brake discs and calipers for rust binding after idle periods, and examine sills and floor pan for structural rust despite no MOT corrosion flags. The clean record means no recurring consumable neglect, but low annual mileage then sudden use warrants a hands-on check of tyres, wiper blades, and coolant hoses before purchase.
