Description
2007/57 Toyota Estima 2.4 VVT-i Aeras S Package Automatic - 8 Seater - 79,160 Miles
A lovely, genuine example of the highly regarded Toyota Estima Aeras S Package, powered by Toyota's excellent 2.4-litre VVT-i petrol engine and automatic gearbox.
I bought this Estima in February 2021 shortly after it arrived from Japan, when it had covered approximately 65,000 miles. More than five years later it has now covered just 79,160 miles, so I have added only around 14,000 miles during my ownership.
It has been a superb car and has always been kept maintained, including a recent service. It drives beautifully - smooth, quiet and remarkably refined for such a spacious eight-seater. The automatic gearbox changes as it should and also has a tiptronic/manual mode.
One of the real attractions of these Estimas is the 2.4 VVT-i petrol engine, which has an excellent reputation for reliability and is one of the reasons these Japanese-built MPVs remain so sought after.
This is the Aeras S Package, so it has a particularly handsome appearance and an excellent specification. Finished in black with privacy glass and 18-inch alloy wheels, it still looks a very smart and imposing car.
Specification includes:
* 8 seats
* 2.4 VVT-i petrol engine
* Automatic gearbox with tiptronic/manual mode
* Twin electric sliding side doors
* Keyless entry and push-button start
* Xenon headlamps with automatic activation
* Reverse camera
* Multifunction steering wheel
* Electric folding mirrors
* Privacy glass
* Folding rear seats
* 18-inch alloy wheels
* Wind deflectors
* 2 keys
When originally imported from Japan it was a Grade 4B vehicle, and I have the Japanese auction sheet available.
The current MOT runs until 16 March 2027 and the car has been recently serviced.
What I particularly like about the Estima is that it manages to be an extremely practical eight-seater without feeling like a van to drive. There is an enormous amount of space inside, the electric sliding doors are incredibly useful, and on the road it is comfortable, smooth and effortless.
After more than five years of ownership and only around 14,000 miles added in that time, I know the car well. It has been maintained rather than neglected and continues to drive beautifully.
A very nice example of an increasingly sought-after Japanese MPV with the desirable 2.4 VVT-i petrol engine, sensible mileage and a good specification. I will be genuinely sorry to see it go.
