2007 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · LW07 LLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing an improving trend in maintenance diligence. The most recent test on August 4, 2025, at 115,608 miles recorded zero defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows instances of minor electrical and wear-related failures, the transition to a clean MOT certificate suggests the current owner is proactive regarding safety-critical repair items. At 115,608 miles over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity use for an MPV. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 5,300 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025, and 10,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. This consistent mileage reduces the likelihood of mechanical neglect, though the age of the vehicle makes rubber components and plastics susceptible to degradation regardless of distance traveled. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the front endwork, as the 2024 test flagged corroded nearside front bumper mountings. While the tester noted these were unlikely to detach, corrosion in plastic mounting points can mask deeper issues if left unchecked. The buyer should also inspect the headlamp lenses for clouding or cracks, as the 2024 record noted defective lenses on both sides, which can affect light output and clarity over time. The braking system requires close attention given the April 2022 failure for thin pads on both front and rear axles. Although these were replaced to pass subsequent tests, a buyer should check for uneven disc wear or sticking calipers which often manifest on vehicles of this age. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding edge wearing on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
