Insight summary

Toyota Verso is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 25,256 represented vehicles and 0.06% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 78.0% from 181,863 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 103,806 miles and an average age of 12.1 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 107,781 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are horn not working, lighting and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Toyota Verso looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
