2016 Toyota Verso 1.8L Petrol · NV16 FSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 192,094 miles resulted in no failures or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This consistency suggests a proactive level of maintenance where potential issues are addressed before they result in test failures, despite the high-mileage environment. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns occurring around 2020. Between 2019 and 2020, the vehicle covered approximately 14,000 miles, reflecting typical low-intensity use. However, since the October 2020 test at 32,173 miles, the accumulation accelerated drastically, averaging over 30,000 miles per annum to reach the 192,094 miles by late 2025. This high-frequency motorway usage places specific strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and cooling systems compared to a standard family runabout of the same age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the MOT record is clean, the 2019 failure for pitted rear inner brake discs indicates the braking system is prone to surface corrosion if left stationary. Given the rapid increase in mileage, a thorough check of the shock absorbers, coil springs, and engine mounts is essential, as these parts often reach their service limit at these intervals. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for corrosion, although no structural advisories have been flagged in the history to date.
