2017 Toyota Verso 1.8L Petrol · KD17 CDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in March 2026 at 83,042 miles, it failed that same day due to multiple mechanical and electrical defects. The owner addressed the non-functional headlamp and suspension issues to secure the pass, but the presence of worn bushes indicates that components are only being replaced when a failure is imminent rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage data presents an inconsistent pattern. Between March 2024 at 91,932 miles and February 2025 at 95,138 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 3,200 miles, which is low. However, the recorded mileage in March 2026 at 83,042 miles represents a significant drop compared to the previous year's entry. This suggests either an odometer discrepancy or a period of extended storage, which can lead to degradation of rubber components like the suspension bushes identified in the recent test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end geometry. The March 2026 record flagged both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes as worn, alongside a severely deteriorated offside anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. These issues often lead to uneven tyre wear and handling instability if left un. The buyer should also check the nearside front tyre for the reported cut; while it did not reach the cords during the last test, structural integrity of the tyre is compromised and requires close monitoring for further damage.
