2006 Toyota Alphard Hybrid 2.4L Petrol · WD56 PFA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent and worsening trend regarding suspension and braking component wear. The most recent test on 18 May 2026 at 132,278 miles passed with advisories for pitted front brake discs and clouded headlamps. While the vehicle consistently passes the MOT, the recurring nature of worn arm bushes and perished perished indicates that rubber-based components are reaching the end of their functional life rather than being proactively replaced. At 20 years old, the mileage of 132,278 miles represents a low average of approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last four years, with 3,592 miles recorded between May 2025 and May 2026, and roughly 3,500 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. This low annual mileage explains the presence of age-related degradation, such as perished tyres noted in 2022, rather than high-frequency mechanical stress. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The record repeatedly flags worn suspension arm bushes and axle swivel pins, specifically noting movement and play between 2023 and 2025. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers were described as severely deteriorated in 2025, suggesting the steering and stability components are nearing imminent failure. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been flagged as pitted or scored in every test since 2023, indicating a lack of replacement despite significant corrosion from the low-use use of the vehicle.
