2012 TOYOTA VERSO1.6L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 February 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of that date. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent test resulted in a pass following the rectification of minor lighting defects. While the car failed its initial inspection in February 2026, the issues were limited to simple bulb and lamp compatibility faults rather than underlying mechanical or structural failures. This pattern of passing after minor adjustments suggests that the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard, with no evidence of recurring major component failure or neglect. The recorded mileage of 85,373 miles over a fourteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,098 miles per annum, which is consistent with light to moderate domestic use. The annual progression of mileage is remarkably steady, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles added between each of the last three inspections. This consistent usage pattern is generally preferable to vehicles that have experienced long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the drivetrain and seals have remained lubricated and active. The lack of significant mileage spikes or prolonged gaps in the testing history indicates a predictable and well-documented life cycle. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on the electrical systems and lighting assemblies, given the recurring failures related to headlamp alignment and bulb compatibility. While these are inexpensive to resolve, they may indicate previous amateur attempts at headlight upgrades or poor-quality replacement parts. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these areas often show signs of age on a vehicle of this vintage despite the clean MOT record. Check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle is left standing for extended periods between its annual tests.
