Should Toyota cover the cost of repairing my 8-year-old Avensis Verso?

I own a 2002 Avensis Verso. Recently my car appears to have developed the following problem: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/avensis-verso-2001/?section=bad

Should Toyota cover any of the cost of sorting this out for me? So far they are refusing, saying the car is out of warranty.

No, because the car is eight years old, one year past the end of its design life.
