The Toyota Verso was MOT tested 44,195 times in 2024 (DVSA data, retests included) across 14 model years (2005 to 2018), with an average pass rate of 83%. That's slightly above the average of 82% across all models in our data. Our records list petrol versions.

Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2017 model has the highest pass rate at 89% from 3,405 tests. The 2010 model has the lowest at 77%. The 12 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Toyota Versos pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 5 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2005) averages 115,372 miles, while the newest (2018) averages 53,820 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
