2006 Toyota Corolla Verso TR D-4D 2.2L Diesel · DXZ 3264

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 181,545 miles. Following a brief failure in July 2023, the car has undergone three consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This lack of flagged issues over the last two years suggests that the previous owner addressed immediate maintenance requirements and that the vehicle is currently operating in a state of good repair. At 181,545 miles, the Corolla Verso averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between July 2023 and September 2024, and another 5,900 miles between September 2024 and December 2025. This regularity of operation is generally beneficial for older diesel engines as it prevents seals from drying out and components from seizing during long stationary periods. While the MOT record is currently clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components prone to high-mileage wear on this specific model. Given the age and mileage, check the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT only checks for rust once it becomes a safety failure. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and examine the brake calipers for signs of binding or thinning, as these are common points of degradation that do not always trigger an MOT advisory until they are critical.
