2012 Toyota Vellfire 3.5L Petrol · SF61 OJR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred preventative care regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 118,424 miles secured a pass, the tester flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking alongside thin front brake pads. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically capable of passing, the owner is only addressing wear-related items once they approach an MOT failure threshold. The recorded mileage of 118,424 miles over 14 years reflects a consistent and typical usage pattern of approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2024 (111,344 miles) and May 2025 (111,356 miles), where only 12 miles were recorded over seven months. This low activity suggests the vehicle likely sat for extended periods, which explains the dry cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in the 2026 record. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry, as the rear axle swivel pins and bushes have been flagged for deterioration in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. Although these have not yet caused a failure, the recurring nature of this advisory indicates the components are nearing the end of their functional life. The current state of the tyres across all axles suggests that a full set of new rubber and front brake components are required immediately to ensure vehicle safety and optimal performance.
