2022 Toyota Proace 1.5L Diesel · PX22 NJE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026. However, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the vehicle passed, the February 2026 test at 101,924 miles flagged an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests that the owner only addresses components once they reach failure points rather than following a scheduled service interval. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 25,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 80,302 miles and the February 2026 test at 101,924 miles, the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. This heavy usage suggests consistent long-distance motorway driving, which accelerates the natural wear rate of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The uneven wear noted on the offside rear tyre in 2026 often points to alignment issues or worn control arms and bushes. Given the previous advisory regarding thin inner brake pads in early 2025, a physical inspection should check for sticking calipers or uneven disc wear that could be causing premature pad consumption. The high mileage also necessitates a check of the clutch or gearbox signs of strain, as these components are reaching the end of their typical service life.
