2017 Toyota Proace 2.0L Diesel · OO04 KMB

A persistent pattern of tyre degradation defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, with recurring advisories for perishing, cracking, and sidewall cuts appearing in every test from 2022 through to the most recent pass on 7 October 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of roadworthiness, the repeated flags regarding the condition of the offside and nearside rear tyres indicate a chronic issue with rubber deterioration that has not been fully rectified over several testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 62,550 miles over a nine-year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,950 miles. This is a typical accumulation rate for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a steady usage pattern. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically means that drivetrain components and suspension bushings are subject to moderate wear rather than the accelerated degradation often seen in high-mileage commercial fleets. Inspection should focus heavily on the current state of the tyres, particularly the offside rear and offside front, which have been flagged for perishing and cuts across multiple years. A physical examination of the sidewalls is necessary to identify any deep cracking or structural damage that may compromise the tyre integrity. Given the history of cuts and perishing, any current tyres that appear aged or exhibit weather checking should be considered for immediate replacement regardless of the remaining tread depth. Beyond the tyres, the only recorded failure was a major defect in October 2021 regarding the effectiveness of the nearside front windscreen wiper, which was resolved during the same testing window. During a test drive, ensure the windscreen wipers clear the glass without streaking and that there is no unusual vibration or noise from the wiper motor. Since the exhaust emissions were noted as too clean to measure in 2020, the engine emissions profile appeared stable at that time, though current performance should be verified through a standard road test.
