2001 Toyota Granvia 3.4L Petrol · NH51 PDZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 114,760 miles passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they could manifest as failures, despite the vehicle's age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 25-year-old, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 11,322 miles, moving from 103,438 to 114,760 miles. This consistent, low usage indicates the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress. However, low mileage on an older Toyota can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid perishability, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than mileage. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills, wheel arches, and fuel tank housing where rust often accumulates on Granvias. The suspension bushes and bushings should be checked for signs of cracking or tearing due to long periods of standing. Additionally, verifying the brakes for seized calipers or pitted discs is essential, as low-frequency use can leads to surface corrosion on the braking surfaces.
