2009 Toyota Verso 1.8L Petrol · SD59 XPM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards increasing mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 169,540 miles, the report reveals a cluster of defects related to suspension, lighting, and rubber. This represents a departure from the clean record seen in June 2022, indicating that the vehicle is entering a phase where components require more frequent and reactive attention. At approximately 17 years old, this high-mileage Verso has averaged roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 9,140 miles covered between September 2023 and January 2025, and another 9,142 miles in the final year. While this consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat neglected, the high cumulative mileage naturally explains the wear on rubber-based components and suspension-related hardware. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the most recent test flagged severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint covers and a worn suspension arm bush. There is a recurring history of drive shaft CV boots deteriorating, which was noted in 2023 and again in 2025; the buyer must verify if these have been replaced recently to prevent costly damage to the CV joints. Additionally, the presence of a nearside front tyre near the legal limit and a twisted offside rear brake hose suggests that minor maintenance is currently being performed reactively rather than proactively.
