2017 Toyota Verso 1.6L Petrol · YY17 CFG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 71,643 miles passed, it returned advisories for worn front brake discs and two tyres. This mirrors the findings from the March 2025 test at 66,747 miles, indicating that the owner only addresses components once they approach legal failure limits rather than performing scheduled replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The records show steady progression with roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles covered between each annual inspection. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods, though the failure in March 2023 at 49,232 miles revealed a lapse involving a severely deteriorated suspension arm ball joint dust cover and multiple tyre defects. This period of mechanical neglect appears to have been rectified in subsequent passes. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the recurring issues with worn brake discs and feathered tyres suggest potential alignment problems or sticking calipers. The previous failure of the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint necessitates a thorough check of all remaining rubber boots for cracking or tearing. Given the repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges in the two most recent tests, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to prevent premature wear on new rubber.
