2022 Toyota Proace City Icon 1.5L Diesel · MT71 ORK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on February 24, 2026 at 137,492 miles resulted in a failure due to incorrect headlamp aim, a distorted wheel, and worn tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of multiple safety-related advisories and failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 34,000 miles per year. A significant discrepancy exists between the January 2025 test at 169,369 miles and the February 2026 test at 137,492 miles. This negative mileage of over 31,000 miles in just thirteen months suggests a potential odometer error or clerical recording mistake that requires immediate verification. Such rapid mileage accumulation in a short period places extreme stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A buyer must inspect the front-end assembly closely, as the record notes a distorted nearside front wheel and a previously deteriorated offside front CV boot. These issues, combined with the high mileage, increase the likelihood of worn wheel bearings, suspension bushes, and bushings. The 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads and the worn tyres noted in early 2026 indicate that consumables are frequently nearing the end of their service life. A physical check for uneven tyre wear is essential to ensure the previously distorted wheel has not caused secondary damage to the steering geometry or alignment.
