2014 Toyota Verso 1.6L Diesel · YP14 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on DVSA records, with the most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 108,136 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. That pass confirmed roadworthiness at that date, though the certificate has since expired as of 14 July 2026. The trend across the five recorded tests shows no escalating mechanical issues. The single failure on 18 April 2023 carries no logged defects, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a fault. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From 19 April 2022 at 65,071 miles to 9 April 2024 at 91,863 miles, the car covered 26,792 miles over two years, averaging 13,396 per year, above the stated 9,011 annual mean but not excessive. The jump to 108,136 miles by 24 April 2025 adds 16,273 miles in twelve months, a moderate increase. Records are sparse between 2022 and 2025, yet each annual test passed cleanly, suggesting the previous owner maintained basic statutory compliance. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by the clean MOT history. The absence of advisories on corrosion or structural integrity does not preclude hidden rust on sills or subframes given the 2014 manufacture. A thorough check of exhaust emissions and binding calipers remains prudent, as MOT passes with zero defects reflect test-day condition only. The repeated clean passes and the anomalous same-day fail then pass in April 2023 imply the keeper prioritised timely testing, though the lack of any advisory entries across 43,065 miles of recorded history is unusual and warrants verification of actual component condition.
