Does high mileage mean more Toyota Alphard MOT failures at the same age?

At ages 15+, 17.2% of Toyota Alphards with under 40,000 miles failed first time, against 45.2% of those with over 140,000 miles (2024, n = 551). Inside this age group, higher mileage goes with more failures.

How many years is a Toyota Alphard likely to last?

Toyota Alphards aged 5 are forecast to keep taking MOTs for at least 11.3 more years; the survival curve is observed only until age 19, so the true figure is likely higher.

If a Toyota Alphard fails, does it fail again?

28.9% of Toyota Alphards that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 25.4% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 2,526). The failure most likely to come back is steering: 28.2% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Toyota Alphard cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Toyota Alphards tested at age 5, about 31 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 18 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Toyota Alphard MOT: quick answers

What is the Toyota Alphard first-time MOT pass rate?

72.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (10,637 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 10,637 primary tests: 27.16% failed first time and 77.5% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 79.8 is shown separately.
