2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AK61 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in August 2025 at 67,860 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the record shows a momentary failure on that same date due to a bald offside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. The fact that the owner rectified this issue immediately to achieve a pass suggests they are responsive to safety-critical-related MOT demerits rather than being proactive with preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 49,086 miles in July 2022 to 67,860 miles by August 2025. This low annual mileage suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine remains minimal, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading due to age and stationary periods rather than distance travelled. A buyer should focus specifically on the condition of the tyres during a physical inspection, as the July 2022 advisory for a perished nearside rear tyre indicates the rubber is prone to dry rot. Given the age of the car, the inspector should also check for cracks in suspension bushes and hoses, which often perish on low-mileage vehicles. The MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake system failures, but a check of the chassis for surface rust remains necessary for a Toyota of this era.
