2013 Toyota Verso TR D-4D 2.0L Diesel · EXZ 1053

This Toyota Verso TRD-D 4D has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across all five MOT tests, with no defects recorded in any of the examinations. The most recent test on 2025-12-08 at 87,974 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear. The pattern of passing without fail suggests either diligent servicing or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical thresholds for major components. However, the lack of advisories in recent tests means no red flags were raised by the tester, but this does not guarantee all serviceable items have been addressed—particularly those not routinely checked in an MOT, such as timing belt condition, differential fluid, or suspension preload. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,767 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no unusual gaps in testing—each MOT was conducted within the 12-month window, and the intervals between tests align with expected usage. The longest gap between tests was from 2020-01-15 to 2022-06-21, covering 3,155 miles over 2 years, which is slightly above the average annual mileage but not alarming. This suggests the vehicle has been in regular use without prolonged periods of neglect or storage, though it does not confirm whether scheduled maintenance (e.g., servicing) was performed at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points in this model after 13 years. Brake discs and pads, though not flagged in MOTs, may show uneven wear or glazing, and the rear calipers should be checked for binding or fluid leaks, which could indicate internal seizure. Corrosion is another critical factor; the subframe, wheel arches, and sills should be inspected for rust penetration, especially if the vehicle has seen winter road salt exposure. Finally, the exhaust system should be assessed for leaks or sagging hangers, as catalytic converter failure is a known issue in this model, and emissions tests may have missed subtle degradation. Tyre condition, while not a concern based on MOT records, should be verified for remaining tread depth and uniformity, as failing twice on tread in prior tests would suggest basic upkeep was occasionally overlooked.
