2017 Toyota Voxy 1.8L Hybrid electric · ME17 DZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 103,838 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of minor suspension component failures. While the car passed the latest without defects, the history indicates a cycle of reactive repairs rather than proactive maintenance of the steering assembly. This suggests that the owner addresses mechanical faults only when they trigger a test failure rather than performing preventative inspections of wear-related parts. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK-use profiles, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a significant spike in usage between November 2025 at 80,697 miles and June 2026 at 103,838 miles, representing over 23,000 miles in just seven months. This rapid accumulation places high stress on rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components, which likely explains the repeated failure of the anti-roll bar linkage during the most recent tests. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension during a physical inspection. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint failed testing in both June 2026 and November 2025, indicating a persistent issue or a poor quality replacement in the past. You must inspect all ball joints, linkages, and bushes for play or torn boots, as the failure of one often precedes others. Given the recent high-mileage surge, a thorough check of the brake discs and pad thickness is also necessary to ensure the recent intensive driving has not accelerated wear on these consumable components.
