2021 Toyota Proace 2.0L Diesel · LX05 NOX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 100,886 miles passed, the tester flagged an advisory for front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on both edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension wear that has not been addressed despite the clean record from the October 2025 test. The mileage de-accumulation pattern is notably high for a five-year-old van, averaging over 20,000 miles per annum. Between October 2024 at 72,239 miles and October 2025 at 93,483 miles, the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on drivetrain components and wear items, necessitating frequent inspections to ensure the vehicle remains reliable under heavy commercial conditions. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The 2024 failure identified a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot, which, if left unreplaced, leads to premature joint failure. Given the report of thin rear brake pads in that same period and the recent uneven tyre wear, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and check for excessive play in the control arm bushes that may be causing the tyre scrubbing.
