Our Verdict

Approach with caution and budget for immediate remedial work, as this 2022 Toyota diesel failed its MOT just days before passing after repairs. The recent failure listed multiple safety-related defects, so confirm all were properly fixed before purchase.

Ask the seller for invoices proving the nine July 2026 failure items were repaired, particularly the offside front tyre with structural lump, nearside front headlamp faults and steering rack gaiter. These are safety-critical and a quick visual check at viewing should confirm new pads, tyres and wiper blades are fitted. Given the 2025 MOT also noted insecure battery and wiper blade defects, inspect the engine bay for signs of poor securing and confirm the battery is now clamped correctly. Negotiate on price to reflect the recent failure history and the fact this is a 2.0-litre diesel with four years of use; a modest reduction of a few hundred pounds would be reasonable if any items look freshly patched rather than properly replaced.

As a 1997cc diesel meeting Euro 6 AO, this Toyota will typically return strong fuel economy, though exact figures are unavailable without the model identity. Annual VED for a post-April 2017 diesel of this size usually falls in the flat-rate band, currently £195 for the 2026/27 period once the first-year rate has passed. Insurance group and maintenance costs depend on the specific model, but diesel servicing with brake and tyre wear as seen in the MOT history suggests mid-range upkeep; budget for tyres and pads more frequently given the recorded wear patterns. Estimated annual running cost is £1,000-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance.

The July 2026 failure recorded front brake pads wearing thin, so verify pad thickness and disc condition even after the pass. Both front tyres were flagged — nearse side worn on edge and offside with a structural lump — confirm matching new tyres are fitted and check for uneven wear indicating tracking issues. Headlamp faults (nearside dipped beam out, offside aim too high, nearside aim untestable) and a missing steering rack gaiter mean you should test all lights, check gaiters for integrity and confirm no dirt ingress has damaged steering components. Also review the 2025 notes: insecure battery, registration plate lamps and wiper blades — ensure all are now secure and operational.

This white 2022 Toyota diesel (YJ22AHU) shows 27,645 miles on its latest 2026-07-13 MOT pass, having covered around 11,700 miles in the past year. The July 2026 MOT failed on nine items including brake pads, tyres, headlamps and wipers, but a clean pass followed on 2026-07-13 after rectification. With no model aggregate reliability data available, the assessment rests solely on the individual MOT record, which shows recurring minor defects across two tests.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the TOYOTA UNKNOWN model, so no general reputation can be stated from the provided information.
