2010 Toyota Alteeza 2.0L Petrol · V810 EVU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 6 February 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status as of the most recent inspection. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the car has achieved clean passes in its last four consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. While the 6 February 2026 record indicates an initial failure followed by an immediate pass on the same day, the absence of specific defect notes suggests a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a mechanical failure, indicating that the vehicle remains in a reliable state of repair. With a recorded mileage of 143,823 miles over sixteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,989 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a car of this age. The testing history shows consistent annual or biennial submissions, with no significant gaps in the timeline that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of miles implies the vehicle has been kept in regular operation, which typically helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the vehicle's structural integrity and high-wear components, as the lack of MOT advisories does not preclude the presence of hidden degradation. Given the age and mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their service life on high-mileage examples. Inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the subframes and sills, and check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns that may not have been flagged during the most recent test. A thorough check of the drivetrain and cooling system is also advisable to ensure that the engine's long-term maintenance has kept pace with its heavy usage.
