Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recent MOT failures, but the vehicle shows potential for a reliable used purchase if issues are addressed.
Prioritise inspecting the suspension system for corrosion and wear, especially after the 2025 shock absorber failure. Verify that the rear tyres are the same size and condition, as mismatched tyres pose safety risks. Check service records for repairs related to the 2023 wiper and brake light issues. Negotiate a lower price to account for past failures, and consider a pre-purchase inspection to assess hidden damage. Be wary of rust, as the 2009 model’s age increases corrosion risks.
Fuel economy for the 1.3L petrol engine is moderate, likely averaging 35-40 mpg. Road tax for 2026 is £140 annually (petrol engine >1.0L). Insurance group is likely mid-range (15-20), costing £600-£800 yearly. Maintenance costs may rise due to age-related issues, with £300-£500 estimated for parts like shock absorbers or wipers. Total annual running costs could reach £800-£1,000.
Focus on the rear suspension arms for corrosion (noted in the 2026 MOT) and check for fluid leaks around the shock absorbers (from the 2025 failure). Inspect tyres for size consistency and tread depth. Test all brake lights and wipers for proper function. Examine the windscreen for cracks or damage affecting visibility. Check underbody for rust, common in 17-year-old vehicles. Verify that the vehicle’s service history includes repairs for past MOT failures.
This 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser has a mixed MOT history with three failures in seven years, including a serious shock absorber leak and tyre size mismatch. The mileage of 93,668 miles is slightly below average for its age, and the most recent MOT (May 2026) showed only minor issues. No aggregate reliability data exists for the model, so decisions rely heavily on this vehicle’s specific history.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota Urban Cruiser, so reliability must be assessed on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis using its specific history.
