2010 Toyota Alphard 3.5L Petrol · YN10 UAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in June 2025 at 111,058 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the June 2025 failure indicates minor reactive maintenance requirements specifically regarding the windscreen washer system, a registration plate lamp, and a windscreen chip. These issues were addressed immediately to secure a pass on the re-test, suggesting the current owner is responsive to safety-related advisories once they are flagged by a tester. At 16 years old, the recorded 111,058 miles represent an average usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low mileage for a large MPV. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 12,500 miles driven between July 2023 and June 2024, and another 14,500 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady mileage suggests the mechanical components of the drivetrain and suspension have likely been subjected to regular use rather than long periods of stagnation. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking system, as the July 2022 test highlighted significant wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes on both sides, alongside pitted front inner brake discs. While these specific faults did not reappear in the subsequent clean tests, rubber components and metal surfaces on a vehicle of this age and mileage deserve to be checked for further cracking or accelerated corrosion. The 2022 advisory regarding tyre perishing also indicates the rubber may be reaching the end of life, necessitating a physical inspection of the sidewall integrity regardless of the remaining tread depth.
