Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large
When inspecting this 2.4L petrol Alphard, focus on the suspension components. The 2023 MOT record noted wear on both front lower suspension arm pins/bushes, so even though it passed, you should check for any knocking sounds or uneven tyre wear during a test drive.
Given the vehicle's age, verify that the large 2360cc engine has been serviced regularly, as MOT records do not confirm maintenance history. Check the condition of the headlights, as the 2022 failure was due to incorrect aim, and ensure the lenses are clear and not heavily oxidised.
As a large 2.4L petrol MPV, expect higher-than-average fuel consumption, especially in urban environments. The tax band for this 2360cc engine will be relatively high compared to smaller family cars.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this size can be higher due to the cost of larger tyres and specific suspension components. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sits in the higher bracket for this vehicle class.
Specifically inspect the front suspension. The 2023 MOT advisory regarding worn lower suspension arm pins/bushes on both sides suggests these are wear items for this model that may require attention again.
Additionally, check the electrical components and lighting. The 2022 MOT failure involved the nearside front headlamp aim, so ensure all lights are functioning correctly and are properly aligned. Given the vehicle's age, also inspect the condition of rubber seals and hoses which may show signs of perishing.
This 2004 Toyota Alphard presents with 68,095 miles on the clock, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a trend of passing tests, with the most recent two tests in 2024 and 2026 recording no defects. While there was a suspension advisory in 2023, the vehicle has since passed without recorded issues in that area.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota Alphard to provide a statistical comparison.
