2013 Toyota Verso 1.8L Petrol · DN62 TLU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent test in January 2026 at 110,559 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving as the recurring mechanical and electrical failures from 2024 and 2025 have been addressed. While the current record is clean, the previous history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement, particularly regarding lighting and minor fluid components. At 110,559 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a family MPV. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,000 miles covered in the months leading to the latest test. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and battery health. A buyer should pay close attention to the areas that showed persistent issues in the past. The February 2024 test flagged corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake pipes, which were obscured by grease; a physical inspection is required to ensure these have been replaced or thoroughly treated rather than merely cleaned. Additionally, the previously noted fuel hose at the filler neck and the non-excessive oil leak mentioned in 2024 should be verified to ensure the repairs were effective and that the leak has not progressed into a significant engine seal failure. The recurring discolouration of the rear indicators across three years suggests minor cosmetic aging or UV damage that has not yet caused a failure. Given the previous failure of the windscreen wiper and the horn, the buyer should test all external electricals and wiper motors to confirm functionality. If the brake pipes are free of rust and the engine remains dry, the vehicle presents a stable mechanical profile for its age and mileage.
