2016 Toyota Verso 1.6L Diesel · CF16 AWM

This Toyota Verso has maintained a clean MOT history over the past two years, with the most recent test on 28 February 2026 at 153,776 miles showing no defects. The trend is stable, with every test since August 2024 passing without advisories or failures—despite the unusual duplication of a pass/fail entry on the same date in 2024, which may reflect a clerical error rather than mechanical concern. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained or, more likely, has avoided significant wear issues common in high-mileage cars of this age. That said, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in components not routinely checked under MOT, such as suspension bushes, brake fluid condition, or drivetrain seals. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging around 15,378 miles annually—well above the UK fleet average. The gaps between tests are consistent (roughly six months), but the rapid mileage climb between August 2024 (117,356 miles) and February 2026 (153,776 miles) indicates heavy use, which typically accelerates wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension. The duplicated MOT entry in August 2024 is anomalous and should be clarified with the seller, as it may imply a rushed or overlooked inspection. No advisories were recorded in any test, which is unusual for a car covering this many miles in this timeframe—raising the possibility of selective maintenance or a history of MOT testers missing subtle issues. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the high mileage. The brakes should be tested for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not always catch early signs of caliper sticking or disc warping. Structural integrity is less of a concern without rust advisories, but the undercarriage and wheel arches should be checked for hidden corrosion, especially if the car has been driven in rural or salty conditions. Tyre condition and tread depth are critical given the mileage, and the buyer should verify whether the current set has been used aggressively or rotated regularly. Finally, the duplicated MOT entry warrants follow-up to ensure no defects were overlooked during testing.
