2018 Toyota Alphard 3.0L Petrol · NT52 VFF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2025 at 140,493 miles. While the latest test was successful, the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of recurring issues, particularly concerning suspension components and brake system efficiency. The trend shows ongoing wear on structural and mechanical parts rather than a resolution of previous faults. The current mileage of 140,493 miles suggests a moderate usage profile for a 2002 model. The history shows a steady accumulation of wear, with the previous test at 140,483 miles failing on several points, including brake and parking brake efficiency, and suspension arm pin wear. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a consistent rate of wear and component fatigue over time. The recurring failure of the nearside front suspension arm pins and bushes requires immediate inspection, as this indicates potential instability. Corrosion noted on the offside rear brake pipe also warrants attention. Buyers should also check the condition of the brake discs and pads, given the previous failure regarding service and parking brake efficiency, and verify the integrity of the headlamp lenses and wiper blades.
