2011 Toyota Verso 1.3L Petrol · WN61 AEB

The Toyota Verso’s most recent MOT, conducted on September 1, 2025 , confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 55,981 miles . Over the past five tests—spanning from September 2022 to September 2025 —there have been no recurring failures or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance record. The sole anomaly was a failed test on September 6, 2022 , yet this was immediately followed by a pass on September 23, 2022 , suggesting a minor oversight rather than a systemic issue. The absence of advisories or repeated faults implies the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not rigorous, servicing, though the lack of pre-MOT maintenance records means no deeper mechanical history is available. The recorded mileage of 55,981 miles over approximately 14 years —roughly 3,732 miles per year —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. The most notable gap occurs between September 2022 and September 2023 , where mileage increased by just 2,464 miles over a year, a pattern that repeats in subsequent intervals. While this could indicate careful ownership, it also raises questions about whether critical components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—have been subjected to prolonged static load without inspection. The 2022 retest at identical mileage (48,447) suggests the failure was likely procedural rather than mechanical, but the lack of subsequent advisories does not guarantee all wear has been addressed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , given their susceptibility to fatigue over 14 years. The brake system , while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs and pads , especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Exhaust emissions —though not flagged—could warrant a diagnostic check if the car has been stored, as carbon buildup or catalytic converter degradation may not yet be visible. Finally, structural corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined, as this is often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can compromise safety over time. The absence of MOT advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
