Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those needing a
When inspecting this silver Proace, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The 2023 MOT failure specifically noted that both rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Ensure that these have been replaced with new components rather than just being cleaned or resurfaced.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2022 MOT record highlighted rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit, so assess the current tread depth across all four tyres. Given the diesel engine and the nature of van usage, ask for evidence of regular oil changes and check for any signs of exhaust leaks, as a minor downpipe leak was noted in the 2022 inspection.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Proace is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate tax band and insurance group typical for a medium-sized van. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but the smaller engine size suggests lower fuel consumption compared to larger 2.0L counterparts.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine servicing of diesel components and wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres, which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, factoring in diesel prices and standard commercial vehicle servicing schedules.
Specifically inspect the rear braking setup. The MOT history from December 2023 explicitly failed the vehicle due to pitted and scored rear brake discs on both the nearside and offside. You should verify that these discs and the corresponding pads have been renewed.
Check the exhaust system and lighting. A minor exhaust gas leak was recorded in 2022, and an inoperative registration plate lamp caused a failure in 2023. Ensure the exhaust is secure and silent, and that all external lighting, including the rear plate lamp, is fully functional. Finally, check the tyre edges for uneven wear, as this was a recorded advisory in 2022.
This 2017 Toyota Proace presents with 48,778 miles recorded at its last MOT, which is relatively low for its age. The MOT history shows a progression from no defects in 2021 to minor issues with tyres and exhaust leaks in 2022, and finally a failure in late 2023 regarding brake discs and a registration lamp. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recent history indicates a need for closer inspection of wear-and-tear components.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota Proace to provide a statistical comparison.
