2022 Toyota Proace City Active 1.5L Diesel · YR22 TTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT indicates a decline in maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car passed its test in November 2025 at 32,795 miles, it followed a failure just one day prior for multiple mechanical faults. This suggests the previous owner only addressed necessary repairs when forced by a test failure rather than performing proactive maintenance. The trend shows a shift from the clean records seen in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression between July 2024 at 23,452 miles and November 2025 at 32,795 miles, indicating the vehicle has not been sitting idle. However, the accumulation of over 9,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests likely contributed to the wear observed on consumable components and suspension parts identified in the final inspection. A buyer must verify that the front suspension has been properly rectified. The 2025 failure flagged reduced damping in both front shock absorbers and play in both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. These issues affect handling and tyre wear and should be replaced with high-quality parts. Additionally, the front inner brake pads were found below the legal limit of 1.5mm during that test, necessitating a thorough inspection of the rotors to ensure no uneven wear or glazing has occurred. Final attention should focus on visibility. The tester noted an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp and a failed central stop lamp, along with a windscreen wiper that did not clear the glass effectively. While these are relatively simple fixes, their presence on a failure report highlights a lack of pre-test checks. Ensure all lighting is functional and the wiper blades are new before completing the purchase.
