2012 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · KF12 KFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in mechanical condition. While it passed on May 30, 2026 at 76,491 miles, it failed initially due to a non-functional nearside front lamp and wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes. The appearance of suspension wear suggests that components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life, despite the vehicle's low overall usage figures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,464 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2024 at 67,454 miles and May 2025 at 67,519 miles, where the car covered only 65 miles in an entire year. This pattern suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid issues regardless of the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension to determine the extent of the play in the swivel pins and bushes. Since the tester flagged these as slightly worn, the condition is likely to progress toward a failure if not monitored. It is also essential to check for signs of corrosion or perished rubber hoses, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations. Ensure the nearside front lamp has been properly rectified following the recent failure to confirm basic electrical compliance is maintained.
