2016 Toyota Proace 2.0L Diesel · NG65 AAY

The 2016 Toyota Proace presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 106,864 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding 2023 and 2022 tests also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening mechanical faults surfacing across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a ten-year-old van. The record shows 73,640 miles in February 2022, rising to 85,018 by January 2023, then 98,982 by February 2024, and 106,864 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 10,700 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The only anomaly is the 1 February 2024 entry, where the tester logged both a fail and a pass at 98,982 miles on the same day with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the absence of any advisories or defects across the history, the MOT data alone shows no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A clean record of this kind implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables within limits, though it does not confirm proactive replacement of items like tyres or wiper blades outside the test bay. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the diesel drivetrain, clutch, and underbody for corrosion, as the MOT only samples condition on the test day. The 2024 same-day fail-pass warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise, the documented history supports a low-risk purchase from a mechanical-record standpoint.
