Hi my 2012 verso went into the garage the other day while it was on the ramp I had a chance to look underneath and could see the swaybar was full of rust it's due for MOT next week the garage has said they are not sure if they can do the repair and the closest Toyota garage is 60 miles away has anybody else had this problem before and know a rough price for the repair thanks jwj

Hi - I had this replaced on my 2009 Verso in November last year. It cost £380 by my local (non Toyota) garage. The part they used was a genuine Toyota part which cost about £300 I think. No doubt Toyota would charge a lot more for fitting it.

Are your garage saying it will fail the MOT because of it? I only had mine replaced because it had rusted through and fell off - while I was driving! My garage said it might not even fail the MOT with it being rusty (or even with it missing) as it isn't structural. I decided to get it replaced anyway.
