Our Verdict
This 2011 Toyota Urban Cruiser D-4D presents a solid option for UK buyers, backed by a recent run of clean MOT passes at modest mileage. However, prospective buyers should verify the reasons behind its previous test failures in 2023 and 2024 before purchasing.
When inspecting this DA11UXC registered Urban Cruiser, ask the seller to provide documentation detailing why the vehicle failed its MOT tests on 06/07/2023 and 04/07/2024, despite no specific defects being officially listed on the certificates. Check the physical condition of the silver bodywork and interior controls, and ensure all electrical features operate correctly. Review the service book alongside the MOT history to establish a complete picture of past maintenance.
Powered by a 1364cc diesel engine, this Urban Cruiser should deliver respectable fuel economy for daily commuting and longer journeys. Road tax falls under standard UK VED bands for a 2011 diesel vehicle, and insurance groups for this model tend to be moderate, keeping annual premiums reasonable. Routine maintenance requires standard servicing items typical for a compact Toyota diesel.
Pay close attention to the diesel engine components, fuel system, and emissions equipment, as these are critical on small-capacity diesel vehicles of this era. Given that the vehicle recorded initial test failures in consecutive years (2023 at 79,244 miles and 2024 at 80,214 miles) prior to passing shortly after, examine the suspension, brakes, and tyres thoroughly to ensure no lingering wear was overlooked during those test cycles. Check the underbody and sills for any signs of corrosion.
First registered in June 2011, this silver Toyota Urban Cruiser has covered 80,988 miles, sitting well below typical mileage expectations for a diesel vehicle of this age. Its recent MOT history shows passes in July 2023, July 2024, and July 2025, all free of recorded defects. Notably, the 2023 and 2024 tests both featured initial failures just days before passing, indicating issues that were promptly rectified.
