2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BU16 AAK

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 21 April 2026 test at 26,466 miles, with the MOT passed and no critical defects recorded. The maintenance pattern appears stable; earlier minor faults were remedied and no recurring failures have emerged since the 2020 remedial work, while the 2023 brake disc wear advisory was noted but not deemed unsafe. Mileage is exceptionally low for a ten‑year‑old 2016 Yaris, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year. Between February 2022 (9,512 miles) and June 2023 (9,683 miles) the car added only 171 miles, suggesting prolonged periods of limited use. A more pronounced rise occurred from April 2024 (13,438 miles) to April 2025 (20,973 miles) and again to April 2026 (26,466 miles), yet the total remains well below typical expectations for its age, indicating minimal wear overall. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front and rear brake discs, confirming that the previously noted pitting has not progressed to thinning or cracking. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any lingering damage, ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system illuminates correctly, and test the windscreen wipers for effective clearing. Check the rear reversing lamp and the off‑side repeater lens for proper operation, and confirm that the child‑seat mounting does not impede the adult seatbelt. A visual survey of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any rust‑prone panels will further confirm that the low‑mileage usage has not concealed structural concerns.
