2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AJ07 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The August 2025 test at 160,272 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a brief failure on the previous day at 160,271 miles. This single-mileage failure suggests a minor clerical error or a trivial non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the subsequent retest without further advisories. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,435 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 137,193 miles in September 2022 to 160,272 miles in August 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically helps prevent seized components and perished rubber seals. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the structural integrity appears well-maintained for a 19-year-old vehicle. However, the lack of recorded advisories on tyres or wiper blades in the digital record does not guarantee their current condition. A physical inspection should focus on checking for underside corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system, as these are common wear items on older Toyotas that may not always trigger an immediate failure if the degradation is minimal. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT records indicate the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, they do not cover mechanical components like the timing belt, clutch, or gearbox oil. Given the mileage has surpassed 160,000, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and brake pads is recommended to ensure they have not reached the end of their service life.
