2007 Toyota Alphard Hybrid 2.4L Petrol · SN57 CLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in February 2026 at 136,484 miles passed but highlighted advisories for both the offside front and rear tyres worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a lapse in basic consumable inspections compared to the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 44,403 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile. The jump of 12,776 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests aligns with the annual average, suggesting the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and hydraulic seals in a high-mass hybrid MPV. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the February 2025 test at 124,008 miles flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides. While these did not cause a failure at the time, the dual nature of the fault suggests the components are reaching the end of their service life. The uneven wear on the tyres noted in the most recent 2026 test further points to an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that require immediate attention to prevent further tyre degradation. The 2022 entry noting no rear seats were fitted suggests the vehicle may have been used for commercial purposes or de-registered during that period. Given the age of the vehicle and the hybrid drivetrain, the inspector should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, as these are common failure points for this model. The history shows no evidence of major structural failure, but the transition from clean tests to suspension and tyre advisories indicates the vehicle is entering a phase requiring more frequent mechanical intervention.
