2010 Toyota Estima 2.4L Petrol · NJ10 CBV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 December 2025 at 72,469 miles passed, although the tester noted a limitation where a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt. Prior to this, the tests in 2024 and 2023 showed no defects whatsoever, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a high mechanical standard during its recent operation. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady and predictable accumulation of mileage, with 4,474 miles recorded between the December 2023 test (64,078 miles) and December 2024 (68,552 miles), and another 3,917 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or kept stationary, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record is clean of mechanical failures, the buyer must account for the risks associated with low-mileage aging. Vehicles that sit often suffer from rubber degradation in suspension bushes, perished seals, and seized brake calipers due to infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus on checking for tyre sidewall cracking and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they are not pitted. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation over sixteen years.
