Buying a used Toyota Alphard for London: what the MOT data shows
The Toyota Alphards in this data were first registered between 2002 and 2021. 2007 was the most common year, with 1,278 tests (13% of the total), and half were registered in 2008 or later.
Every Alphard in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 75% of the time at 73,734 miles on average, and the oldest (2002) passed 76% at 84,162 miles.
On a budget, the oldest hybrid (petrol) Alphards likely to comply are from 2006. 1,211 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 78% of the time and averaged 70,561 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Alphard's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (7.2% of tests); suspension: "ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (4.3%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.5%). The most frequent advisory was "pin or bush excessively worn", on 14.4% of tests.
Overall, 74% of Alphards passed first time, slightly above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 80,392 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
