Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser has a recent MOT pass but a notable failure in 2026 involving brake and corrosion issues. While the vehicle has a clean history prior to this, the severity of the 2026 failure warrants caution and thorough inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a detailed mechanical inspection of the braking system, focusing on rear discs, brake pipes, and corrosion levels. Verify if the 2026 MOT failures were fully repaired by reviewing service records. Negotiate the price to account for the recent failure and high mileage. Check for rust in wheel arches, underbody, and brake components. Be wary of hidden repair costs linked to the exhaust lambda sensor and brake system.
As a 1.3L petrol vehicle, fuel economy is likely average for its age, with potential costs of £8-£10 per 100 miles. Tax would be £140 annually (pre-2017 vehicles with CO2 above 150g/km). Insurance group is likely mid-to-high due to age and engine size. Brake component replacements and exhaust repairs could add £200-£400 annually. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Inspect rear brake discs for warping or thinning, check brake pipes for corrosion, and examine the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Look for rust in wheel wells, underbody, and suspension components. Test brake functionality during a test drive. Review service history for repairs related to the 2026 MOT failures. Check the lambda sensor and O2 sensor for potential faults.
The 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser has a recent MOT pass at 113,327 miles but a 2026 failure involving corroded brake discs, weakened rear brake components, and an exhaust system issue. Mileage exceeds typical averages for a 17-year-old vehicle, and while prior MOTs were clean, the recent failure highlights potential corrosion and braking system vulnerabilities. No model-specific reliability data is available.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Toyota Urban Cruiser model. However, Toyota as a brand generally maintains strong reliability, though corrosion and brake wear may accelerate in older vehicles.
