2022 Toyota Proace City Icon 1.5L Diesel · MF22 WTA

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 March 2026 at 56,320 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 25 February 2025 at 46,789 miles shows a curious anomaly: a pass and a fail logged on the same date with identical mileage and no defects noted on either record. This likely reflects a clerical or administrative re-test entry rather than a genuine mechanical failure, but the subsequent March 2026 result confirms the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order with no outstanding advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Between 25 February 2025 at 46,789 miles and 17 March 2026 at 56,320 miles, the vehicle covered 9,531 miles in just over thirteen months, which is consistent with the overall annualised average of roughly 14,080 miles. This is well above typical fleet or private usage for a four-year-old light commercial vehicle. The record is sparse, with only three entries spanning just over a year, so there is limited long-term trend data to draw from. The gap between the vehicle's 2022 registration and the first recorded MOT in February 2025 is notable and suggests the initial MOT may have been missed or the vehicle saw very light use in its early years before entering heavier service. Despite the clean recent result, the high annual mileage demands careful physical inspection. A buyer should examine the front suspension components, including lower arm bushes and drop links, for play or deterioration given the accumulated stress over 56,320 miles. Brake discs and pads warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or lipping, and the rear calipers should be checked for any tendency to bind, a common issue on high-mileage vans. The exhaust system and DPF should be inspected for cracking or soot staining, particularly if the vehicle has been used for frequent short trips alongside its high mileage. Tyre condition and alignment should be assessed, as uneven wear patterns often emerge on vehicles driven hard across varied loads. Structurally, the load floor, sills, and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion or cracking, especially if the vehicle has operated in a commercial role involving heavy cargo or exposure to road salt. The steering rack and column should be checked for excess free play, and the clutch and gearbox assessed for smooth operation under load. A clean MOT record is reassuring, but on a vehicle working this hard, the in-person inspection matters more than the paperwork.
