Our Verdict
A rare find with very low mileage for it
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the exhaust system, as it has been a point of failure and advisory in three out of the last five tests. Request evidence of the repairs carried out following the major failure in September 2024 to ensure the system was properly replaced rather than patched.
Given the vehicle's age and the nature of 1990s diesel imports, check for chassis corrosion and ensure all fluids have been changed recently. Since this is a specialist model, verify the availability of replacement parts for the 3.3L diesel engine before committing to the purchase.
The 3300cc diesel engine will result in higher fuel consumption and likely a higher annual road tax bracket compared to modern vehicles. Insurance costs may be unpredictable due to the rarity of the Granvia model in the UK market.
Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate for the mechanicals, but sourcing specific body or trim parts for a 1996 silver model may be challenging and expensive. Total annual running costs are estimated to be higher than average for a vehicle of this size.
Carefully inspect the entire exhaust run for signs of corrosion or poor-quality welds, referencing the major leak failure from September 2024 and the minor leak advisory from September 2025. Ensure there are no current audible leaks or soot marks around the joints.
Perform a thorough check of the diesel engine's cold-start performance and look for any oil leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect all rubber bushings and seals for perishing, which is common for vehicles from 1996 regardless of the low mileage.
This silver 1996 Toyota Granvia has recorded 110,143 miles, which is low for a vehicle of this vintage. The MOT history indicates a recurring issue with exhaust gas leaks between 2023 and 2025, including one major failure in September 2024. However, the most recent test in August 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota Granvia to establish a statistical reliability benchmark.
