2017 Toyota Proace 2.0L Diesel · FV17 KCN

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 75,179 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced a minor advisory regarding slight external damage to the nearside front shock absorber casing. This is the only noted concern since the tests between 2022 and 2025, which returned with no recorded defects or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of use, such as the 9,964 miles driven between February 2023 and February 2024, and the 1,854 miles recorded between March 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of seals and braking components by preventing the corrosion often associated with stationary vehicles. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber identified in the February 2026 entry. While external damage to the casing is not an immediate failure, it can indicate a pending seal failure that leads to fluid leaks and compromised handling. Check for signs of oil weeping around the damper and ensure the mounting bolts are secure. Given the clean history of structural and braking systems in previous tests, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained according to its MOT record.
