2017 Toyota Verso 1.6L Petrol · SA17 ORP

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass in September 2025 at 59,171 miles. This represents a significant improvement trend compared to the period of mechanical neglect observed in 2024. While the car previously failed a test with multiple safety-critical defects, the most recent inspection from nine months ago indicates that the identified mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating without any recorded defects. At 59,171 miles over nine years, the Verso has averaged approximately 6,575 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for an MPV. The mileage progression shows steady use, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,300 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent unnecessary degradation of rubber components and brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system to ensure the quality of the previous repairs. The September 2024 failure highlighted excessive wear in both front lower arm bushes and a front tie rod ball joint, alongside a noisy offside front wheel bearing. Although these have since passed, the buyer must check for any remaining play in the steering or knocking noises from the front end. Additionally, the recurring history of pitted rear brake discs and thin pads across 2023 and 2024 suggests the previous owner may deferred maintenance until a failure occurred, so a thorough check of the current pad thickness and disc surface condition is necessary.
