Is 158,000km too much for a Toyota Corolla Verso?

Is it wise to buy a Toyota Corolla Verso 1.6 petrol VVTi with 158,000km (100,000 miles) on the clock? It's a 2007 model and was serviced regularly.

Hi Anne,

The Corolla Verso has proven to be mechanically sound so no issues there to worry about and as the model you're considering is at the end of that model's life it should have none of the teething bugs. It's worth checking that the airbags have been checked according to an early recall (if it affects this car) though as they had an issue.

This isn't especially high mileage for such a car, but have it checked mechanically by an expert.

Hope that helps.
