2012 Toyota Verso 2.2L Diesel · FH12 MXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 62,332 miles passed with only an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a failure in November 2024 where the car failed standards due to illegal front tyres and suspension wear. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring nature of brake and suspension issues suggests components are only addressed once they reach a failure point. At 62,332 miles, this Toyota Verso has significantly low mileage for its fourteen-year age, averaging approximately 4,450 miles per year. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine but can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. The record shows consistent annual testing, with a gap of roughly 3,600 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This interval suggests the vehicle is used for short trips, which may explain the surface corrosion noted in the brake system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The history specifically flagged corroded brake pipes in 2023 and pitted rear discs in 2024, which are common on low-mileage cars that sit for periods. The nearside front lower suspension arm bush was noted as worn in 2024; the buyer must check for any remaining play or creaking noises that would indicate further deterioration. Given the previous failure for tyres below the legal limit, the current condition and age of all tyres should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life despite the low mileage.
