2010 Toyota Estima 2.4L Hybrid electric · YJ60 UBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 126,481 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of mechanical decline in late 2025. While the November 2025 test identified multiple issues across the suspension and braking system, the clean sheet from the May 2025 test and the subsequent May 2026 pass suggest that the previous owner addressed the flagged faults and wear-and-tear components. The mileage profile is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage recorded between November 2024 and May 2026, where the vehicle covered 57,682 miles in just under eighteen months. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear on the front brake discs and drag link end ball joints noted in late 2025. The current usage suggests the vehicle is now being used regularly for longer distances, which places consistent demand on the drivetrain and rubber-related components. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the drag link end ball joints have been replaced with quality parts, as these previously failed for excessive play in May 2025 and showed slight play shortly after. The offside rear shock absorber, noted for oil misting in 2025, should be checked for active leaking which would indicate seal failure. Given the history of pitted and scored front brake discs in 2025, verify the remaining thickness of the current discs to ensure they are not nearing the minimum legal limit.
