2014 Toyota Dyna 3.0L Diesel · LM63 UDO

A history of critical safety failures and suspension degradation defines this vehicle's record, specifically regarding fractured leaf springs and dangerously worn tyres. While the most recent test on 19 November 2022 resulted in a pass with advisories for tyre wear, the 2019 and 2020 records show a series of major and dangerous failures, including a parking brake with less than 50 percent efficiency and excessively worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes. The recorded mileage of 135,845 miles over approximately 12 years averages to roughly 11,320 miles per year, which is typical for this type of vehicle. This usage pattern suggests that drivetrain components and suspension linkages have been subjected to consistent operational stress. A significant gap in the MOT history exists between December 2016 and May 2019, which leaves a period of the vehicle's operational life undocumented. Particular attention must be paid to the rear suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. Given the previous failure of a fractured offside rear leaf spring and the replacement of all four anti-roll bar pins and bushes, the vehicle should be checked for any unusual knocks, rattles, or instability when traversing uneven surfaces. The parking brake should be tested on an incline to ensure it holds the vehicle securely, reflecting the previous dangerous failure in braking efficiency. Evidence of an oil leak was noted in 2021, and the offside front brake disc was previously flagged as pitted or scored. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for pedal judder that would indicate the brake discs remain in a worn state. Finally, a thorough inspection of all tyre treads is necessary, as the record shows a recurring trend of tyres wearing close to the legal limit or on the edges, which may suggest alignment issues.
