TOYOTA YARIS2015 · 1.3L Petrol

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 90,248 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed clean. The single failure on 4 March 2024 at 78,829 miles is anomalous: the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or process issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 8,200 miles, which is typical for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows steady accumulation: 73,949 miles in March 2023, 78,829 in March 2024, 84,926 in March 2025, and 90,248 by February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean pass history across five tests with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current and the car was not left standing for long periods. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories means wear items such as brake discs, coil springs, and subframe corrosion were not flagged, but at 90,000 miles these components deserve hands-on checks. Confirm the 2024 same-day fail-pass was a clerical error and not a掩盖 of a lifted defect. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity and suspension joints. The Yaris shows no recurring fault pattern, so risk centres on age-related consumable fatigue not yet caught by testing. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible.
