2017 Toyota Verso 1.6L Diesel · LT67 LTZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred consumable component replacement. While the car maintained clean records for several years, the latest inspection at 72,475 miles flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a lapse in routine pre-test checks compared to the previous years of zero defects. At 72,475 miles over nine years, the Toyota Verso averages approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage pattern appears consistent, particularly between February 2024 and February 2026 when the vehicle covered roughly 23,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing brakes and seals from seizing, though it explains the accelerated wear on the suspension and tyres seen in the recent records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system based on the noted February 2025 test. The tester identified corrosion on both rear upper coil springs and slight corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrrules. While these did not cause a failure at the time, they represent the beginning of environmental degradation that can lead to structural fatigue or fluid leaks. Inspect the springs for cracks or rust and ensure the brake hoses show no signs of bulging or significant surface decay. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the February 2026 test warrants a check of the front alignment and suspension bushings. If the vehicle is out of tracking, it will prematurely exhaust new tyres. Beyond these points, the presence of under trays recorded in 2024 suggests a proactive approach to protecting the chassis from road salt, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
