2018 Toyota Verso 1.6L Diesel · WM67 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 4 July 2026 at 163,541 miles showing a pass despite a recurring advisory. The current roadworthiness is acceptable, yet the record indicates a trend of progressive wear on suspension and braking components. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the frequency of advisories regarding consumables suggests a pattern of running components close to their service limits rather than proactive replacement. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. This high usage is evident in the rapid progression between tests; for example, the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles between the June 2025 test at 131,347 miles and the June 2026 test at 161,268 miles. Such heavy annual mileage places increased stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems compared to typical domestic use. The testing frequency remains consistent, providing a reliable chronological data set for assessing wear. A buyer should focus on the near-side rear shock absorbers, which have shown light oil misting in three consecutive tests dating back to 20 own 25. While currently only an advisory, this indicates a slow seal failure that may eventually require replacement. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The June 2026 test flagged thinning front brake pads and worn discs, following similar issues with corrosion and lipped discs recorded in December 2022. Suspension integrity should be verified during a physical inspection. The record shows a history of wear in the lower suspension arm bushes in December 2023 and binding rear brakes in December 2021. Given the high mileage and the recurring nature of these mechanical advisories, a thorough check of the bushings, coil springs, and the overall condition of the braking hardware is necessary to ensure no underlying structural or mechanical degradation has been overlooked.
