SC11 OWF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Toyota Urban Cruiser (SC11 OWF) between February 2024 and May 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 28 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 24 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Inner Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Inner Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.

Our Verdict
Approach this 2011 Toyota Urban Cruiser with caution due to repeated MOT failures and significant corrosion issues. The most recent pass required two prior failed tests in 2026 and 2025 to be rectified, suggesting underlying structural and brake concerns.
Given the repeated MOT failures, insist on evidence that all 2026 and 2025 advisory items were properly repaired — particularly the seriously weakened front inner brake discs, ABS fault, and broken offside front coil spring from the May 2026 and April 2025 failures. Request full service history and confirm the diesel pipe leak and rear shock absorber fluid leak noted in April 2025 were addressed, not just patched. Negotiate hard on price; the accumulated corrosion across subframe, suspension arms, and brake pipes suggests this car has lived in a damp or coastal environment and may need further welding or parts soon.
As a 1364cc diesel, the Urban Cruiser should return reasonable fuel economy, though no model aggregate figures are available. Road tax for a 2011 diesel of this size is typically in the lower bands, but check the current VED rate with the registration SC11OWF. Insurance should be modest given the age and small engine, but budget for above-average maintenance due to the corrosion and suspension work seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep are £900-£1,200, skewed higher by likely ongoing rust treatment.
Inspect the front brake pipes closely — both sides were flagged as corroded and covered in grease at the May 2026 test, and this has been a recurring advisory since 2024. Check the subframe mounting areas and front/rear suspension components for corrosion, as the May 2026 pass still notes corroded but not excessive subframe and suspension parts. Verify the offside rear reflector (damaged up to 50% at the last two tests) has been replaced, and confirm the ABS warning lamp is no longer illuminated following the May 2026 failure for an ABS fault. Look underneath for any fresh welding or paint that may hide structural rust.
This silver 2011 Toyota Urban Cruiser diesel has covered 82,509 miles as of its May 2026 MOT pass, which is moderate for a 15-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows four failures across 2024-2026, including seriously weakened brake discs, a broken coil spring, a diesel pipe leak, and sub-frame corrosion. While it currently holds a valid MOT, the pattern of corrosion and suspension faults indicates an ageing vehicle needing ongoing attention.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Toyota Urban Cruiser, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
