2012 Toyota Estima 2.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · LA12 WLD

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 242,489 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a long-term trend of successful tests, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards despite its high usage. The mileage is high for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, as seen between the 19 February 2019 test at 150,189 miles and the most recent entry. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage increases linearly, indicating the car has been used as a primary long-distance transport rather than sitting idle. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle with nearly 250,000 miles. Only one minor failure occurred on 9 February 2018 due to registration plate lamps, and a single advisory for inner tyre wear was noted on 25 June 2018 at 129,458 miles. The lack of any mentioned corrosion, brake wear, or suspension deterioration over several years is atypical for this age and mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test may not exhaustively evaluate. Given the high mileage, check for oil leaks, transmission smoothness, and the condition of the hybrid battery if applicable. Inspect the suspension bushes and steering rack for play, and check the brake discs for lip wear, as the absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these parts are not nearing the end of their service life.
