Verdict

Buy with care

Mini-monospace de moins de 4 mètres, 5 places, coffre de 336 litres (plancher haut). CarVerif lui prête une bonne réputation de fiabilité et une cote qui se maintient, mais les retours publiés sont très peu nombreux et aucune note Euro NCAP n'a été trouvée. Le diesel 1.4 D-4D est concerné par le rappel d'échangeur d'air de 2014 : demandez la preuve de sa réalisation.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Rappel : échangeur d'air (intercooler) du 1.4 D-4D (1.4 D-4D 90, 1.4 D-4D 90 MultiMode)

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Toyota Verso-S”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Sur le diesel, faire vérifier avec le numéro de série que le rappel de l'échangeur d'air (2014) a été réalisé.
  • Exiger le carnet d'entretien complet : CarVerif conseille de vérifier l'historique au-delà de 100 000 km.
  • Essayer la boîte Multidrive S (CVT) ou MultiMode : absence d'à-coups et de patinage.
  • Vérifier le fonctionnement du Stop&Start et de la climatisation.
  • Contrôler le plancher de coffre réglable en deux positions et les sièges arrière rabattables.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le rappel de l'échangeur d'air du 1.4 D-4D a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous la preuve ?
  • Quel est le kilométrage et avez-vous toutes les factures d'entretien ?
  • La voiture a-t-elle une boîte manuelle ou automatique, et a-t-elle déjà été réparée ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Read fault codes

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Toyota Verso-S I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
