Before you view it
The Toyota Granvia's most common MOT issues, turned into things to ask about or look for.
Look under the car for corrosion or chafing on the rigid brake pipes near the rear axle.
Listen for knocks over speed bumps and ask about recent control-arm or anti-roll-bar work.
Check tread depth across the full width on all four; uneven wear suggests alignment or suspension issues.
Inspect the suspension carefully and ask the seller for repair history.
Check ride height is even side-to-side and look for cracked or rusted coils.
