Every Toyota Proace model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2017 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Toyota Proace:

What this means if you are buying a 2017 Proace

The 2017 sits close to the Toyota Proace average, so there is no strong model-year signal either way. Judge the individual car on its own history. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 9-year-old car fails on

A 2017 car is 9 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2017 Toyota Proace the average at test was 84,959 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2021 at 84%, and the weakest in our data is 2014 at 61.1%. That 22.9 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2017 car against a newer one tells you very little.
