Our Verdict
This 2012 Toyota Urban Cruiser is a reasonable buy for a budget-minded buyer, but the repeated MOT failures with no recorded defects are a caution flag. Inspect the vehicle thoroughly and confirm why it failed twice before purchase.
Before buying this Urban Cruiser, ask the seller for the full MOT failure documentation from 2024-10-09 and 2025-10-08, as both failures show no defects recorded — this often means an administrative issue, missed paperwork, or a tester error rather than a mechanical fault, but you should verify. Check for a complete service history, as a 1.3-litre petrol Toyota of this age benefits from documented cambelt or chain checks and regular maintenance to stay reliable.
