2016 Toyota Verso 1.8L Petrol · LF66 AZG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. While the Toyota Verso passed its August 2025 test at 57,906 miles, the tester identified severe deterioration on both nearside and offside anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers. This marks a departure from the previous three years of clean records, suggesting that rubber components in the suspension are beginning to perish due to age rather than high-mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between September 2021 (29,400 miles) and August 2025 (57,906 miles), the car covered 28,506 miles over nearly four years. This pattern of low usage suggests that wear on the drivetrain and engine components remains minimal. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the drying of seals and the seizing of rubber components, which aligns with therelated failures noted in the latest MOT test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to check for further rubber wear and tear. The deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers often lead to joint failure if moisture enters the bearing, which would cause knocking noises over uneven surfaces. Given the vehicle's history of low use, it is also necessary to inspect the brake discs for corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seizing, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and uneven braking performance.
