2016 Toyota Verso 1.6L Diesel · SN16 YNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While it passed its most recent test in May 2025 at 110,023 miles, it had failed just days prior with multiple mechanical defects. The history shows recurring issues with the front suspension assembly, specifically involving a split CV boot, play in ball joints, and corroded coil springs, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they reach a point of failure or significant advisory status. At a recorded mileage of 110,023 miles over ten years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,000 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage for a family MPV of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2024 and May 2025, and approximately 6,600 miles between May 2023 and April 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting, which explains the gradual wear seen on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and drivetrain. The 2025 failure highlighted a split nearside front CV boot and play in the suspension arm ball joint, both of which should be verified to ensure they were replaced properly and not merely adjusted. The presence of corrosion on coil springs across both the front and offside rear is a concern for long-term structural integrity, as rust can lead to snapping under stress. Additionally, the noted edge wear on the nearside front tyre in the latest test points to a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that requires professional attention to prevent premature tyre degradation.
