2009 Toyota Verso 2.0L Diesel · FG59 SWJ

The 2009 Toyota Verso presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 11 December 2023 at 201,445 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pass on the same day at the identical mileage, indicates the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that point. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures documented across the available history. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between the September 2022 test at 186,201 miles and the December 2023 test at 201,445 miles, the vehicle covered 15,244 miles in approximately fifteen months, a rate of roughly 1,000 miles per month. This aligns with the overall lifetime average of approximately 11,850 miles per year. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest prolonged standing or severe neglect. A buyer should approach the inspection with a focus on the typical wear points for a high-mileage MPV. The complete absence of advisories or failures in the record is encouraging, but the 201,445-mile figure demands a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links for deterioration. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as these components endure significant stress in a heavier vehicle used for family duties. The exhaust system and its emissions performance warrant close attention, given the age and mileage. A physical inspection should prioritise structural integrity, specifically checking the sills, subframes, and load floor for corrosion, which is a common issue on older Toyota Versos. The tyre condition and tread depth should be verified, as the record offers no insight into recent replacements. Ultimately, the clean MOT history suggests diligent upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the mechanical reality matches the paperwork.
