Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser offers reasonable value for a low-mileage vintage SUV, but the 2025 MOT failure and recent tyre issues warrant careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a thorough brake system inspection, focusing on the nearside front brake components that failed in 2025. Check for consistent brake fluid levels and pedal feel. Verify the tyre condition - the nearside front tyre was worn to the legal limit in 2026. Review service records for regular maintenance, particularly oil changes and brake inspections. Negotiate based on the MOT failure history and high mileage for the model's age. Be cautious of potential rust in the UK climate, despite the VIN-specific registration.
As a 1.3L petrol engine, the Urban Cruiser offers decent fuel economy of ~35-40 mpg. Tax in 2026 would be £145 annually for 2009-2017 diesel/petrol cars. Insurance groups for similar Toyota models typically range from 15-20. Maintenance costs may rise with age, particularly for brake components and tyres. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Inspect the nearside front brake assembly for signs of recurring issues. Check all tyres for uneven wear patterns and tread depth. Examine the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises. Test the brake pedal for sponginess or unusual travel. Verify the vehicle's history for any accident reports. Check the suspension components for wear given the high mileage. Pay special attention to the VIN-specific registration details for potential regional corrosion issues.
The vehicle has a mostly clean MOT history with one significant brake system failure in 2025. At 109,432 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 17-year-old vehicle, though the purple-painted 1.3L petrol engine remains a reliable powertrain.
