2019 Toyota Alphard 3.0L Petrol · NT52 VFW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of neglected front-end wear components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 113,416 miles passed, it flagged two severely deteriorated front drive shaft constant velocity boots and a defective wiper blade. This represents a recurring failure to address rubber components that were noted as advisories as early as 2023, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they reach critical failure rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 9,424 miles, moving from 103,992 to 113,416 miles. This low usage suggests light strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber parts and seals, which is consistent with the perishing suspension bushes and leaking shock absorbers documented in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The record shows a history of perishing suspension arm bushes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers dating back to 2022. The light misting of oil on the shock absorbers noted in 2022 and 2023 should be checked for increased leaking which would indicate imminent strut failure. Given the repeated issues with the CV boots, the drive shafts themselves should be inspected for grease leakage or clicking noises to ensure the dirt ingress has not yet damaged the internal joints.
