TOYOTA YARIS2002 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 1 November 2023 at 169,163 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just one day prior on 30 October 2023 at 169,104 miles, which suggests a minor or superficial issue was rectified immediately before the re-test without indicating a systemic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2020 and November 2023, the car covered 24,939 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The gap between the last test in November 2023 and the current date of June 2026 means the vehicle has not been officially inspected for over two and a half years, necessitating a physical inspection of components that age regardless of low mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as Toyota models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Inspect the rubber bushes in the suspension and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. Since the record does not detail brake wear or tyre depth, check for binding calipers or uneven corrosion and verify the condition of the brake discs to ensure they have not degraded during the long period between tests.
