2014 Toyota Estima 2.4L Hybrid electric · KX64 DXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward neglected consumable items. While the car passed its January 2026 test at 82,378 miles, the tester flagged thin brake pads on both front and rear axles along with rear inner tyres reaching the legal limit on both sides. This indicates a departure from the previous three years of clean records, suggesting that routine inspections of wear-related components have been deferred until the MOT test interval. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 67,541 miles and the January 2026 test at 82,378 miles, the car covered 14,837 miles. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing. The single 2024 failure regarding insufficient washer fluid was a minor non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately and does not indicate broader mechanical failure or systemic neglect. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment specifically, as the uneven wear on the rear tyres noted in 2026 often stems from incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. Given that brake pads were flagged as thin throughout, a thorough check of the brake discs is necessary to ensure they have not glazed or thinned beyond minimum limits. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures, but the immediate attention required is for the braking system and tyre set to maintain current safety standards.
