2004 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · OS51 ALF

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend following an initial failure. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 68,095 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean results dating back to late 2022. This suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently well-maintained and that previous issues were addressed effectively to meet testing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of twenty-two years, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low usage, such as the 1,194-mile interval between October 2022 and September 2023. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or fluid oxidation. The jump of 6,482 miles recorded between October 2024 and January 2026 indicates a recent increase in usage compared to the previous years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the Toyota Alphard increases the risk of structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which may manifest between tests. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as low-mileage vehicles often have these parts becoming brittle over time. Additionally, verify the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for seized calipers or perished hoses that can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
