2021 Toyota Estima 2.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · YK58 CFM

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 9th March 2026 at 162,718 miles passed without defects, indicating that the car is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of alternating passes and fails over the past two years, with no clear trend of improvement. The last two tests, in March 2025 and March 2024, both started with a fail but were later retested and passed. This suggests that minor issues were addressed between tests, but the root causes were not fully resolved. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually high for its age. Over five years, it has accumulated 162,718 miles, averaging 32,544 miles per year. This high mileage suggests significant wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, as well as more critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The frequent testing and retesting indicate that previous owners may have been addressing recurring issues rather than preventing them, which could point to a lack of regular maintenance or basic upkeep. A buyer should inspect the suspension for signs of excessive wear or damage to bushes and coil springs, as these components are likely to have been stressed by the high mileage. The brakes should be carefully examined for any signs of uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on brake discs, as these issues have been flagged in previous tests. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or damage, particularly in areas prone to moisture, such as the undercarriage and wheel arches. Given the high mileage and the pattern of recurring issues, the vehicle may require more frequent and thorough maintenance than a typical car of its age.
