MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
This 2007 Toyota is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but budget for suspension and steering refresh work. The clean pass record with no failures is reassuring, though the noted wear items need monitoring.
When viewing this vehicle, ask for full service history to confirm the timing belt, coolant, and oil changes have been kept up, especially given the recurring 'oil leak, but not excessive' notes from 2024 and 2025. The MOT history shows no major failures, but the steady list of advisory items suggests the suspension and steering components are aging, so negotiate on price to allow for refresh work.
The 2397cc petrol engine in this 2007 Toyota will return modest fuel economy by modern standards, likely in the low 30s mpg, and road tax for a large petrol of this era is typically in a higher band (around £400-£600 per year). Insurance should be reasonable given the age, probably group 10-15, though exact quotes depend on postcode and driver.
On this specific vehicle, inspect the front steering linkage and track rod ends closely — the 2025 MOT noted nearside front track rod end ball joint slight play and the 2024 test found nearside front steering linkage dust cover damaged. Check the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover which was severely deteriorated in 2025, as ingress of dirt can accelerate wear.
The black 2.4-litre petrol Toyota registered RE54ALE in April 2007 has covered 103,679 miles as of its October 2025 MOT, with five consecutive passes and no failures since 2021. Recent MOTs show a pattern of minor wear: slight track rod play, tyre edge wear, oil leak, and deteriorated dust covers on steering and suspension joints. At 18 years old with above-average mileage for the age, it remains roadworthy but will need ongoing maintenance.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this Toyota model variant, so assessment is limited to the individual MOT history provided.
