2004 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Petrol · WD54 USJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest inspection in April 2026 at 98,196 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific failures immediately following an MOT test. While the most recent test involved a failure just three miles prior due to an inoperative engine management indicator light, the subsequent pass indicates this electronic fault was rectified. The overall history remains stable with faults being isolated incidents rather than a sign of progressive mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,463 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with 17,082 miles covered between April 2024 and 2025, and another 9,617 miles covered between 2025 and 2026. This low annual mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related perish in rubber components and seals due to periods of reduced operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar ball joints. Although these were replaced to pass the test, a thorough check for play or torn boots in the remaining control arms and bushings is necessary. The recent failure regarding the engine management light also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no other latent fault codes remain stored in the system that could indicate underlying sensor issues or emission irregularities. Given the vehicle's age, a detailed examination of the chassis for structural corrosion at mounting points is essential, as the MOT records do not detail past structural integrity.
