2021 Toyota Proace City Active 1.5L Diesel · MK71 RFZ

This vehicle presents an unusually low-usage profile for its age, characterized by a clean MOT history with no recorded defects or advisories across its recorded tests. The most recent inspection on 05 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no issues identified, mirroring the clean result from the previous test on 09 December 2024. This consistent lack of recorded failures or advisories indicates that the components inspected during these sessions met the required roadworthiness standards without any noted deterioration in the braking system, lighting, steering, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 6,668 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 1,334 miles. This is significantly lower than the typical UK average for a commercial-derived vehicle like the Proace City. Such a low mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent journeys. While this results in minimal wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and tyre treads, prolonged periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues with seals or fluid stagnation, though no specific defects have been flagged in the official DVSA records to confirm such concerns. Given the absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, shock absorbers, or exhaust systems, a test drive should focus on confirming that the vehicle's low usage has not resulted in any underlying issues. Listen closely for any unexpected knocks or rattles when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate that rubber components or suspension linkages have perished or hardened due to lack of movement. Additionally, check for any unevenness in the steering or pulling to one side, which would be relevant if the vehicle has been stationary for long durations. The braking system should be evaluated for any signs of binding or pedal judder, as components that sit unused can sometimes experience surface corrosion on the discs or sticking caliper pins. While the MOT history shows no issues with brake lines or fluid, it is prudent to ensure the pedal feel is firm and consistent. Because the mileage is so low, the physical condition of the tyres should be inspected for any signs of sidewall cracking or flat-spotting, which are common mechanical symptoms of vehicles that have been parked for extended periods.
