2001 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CK51 AZV

The 2024‑04‑05 MOT passed, following a failed test on 2024‑04‑03 at the same mileage of 134,090, showing that recent repairs have temporarily cleared the recorded defects, but the recurring nature of the listed faults suggests the underlying maintenance trend is neither stable nor improving. With 134,090 miles recorded on a 2001 model, the average annual mileage is just over 5,300 miles, indicating light use or long periods of inactivity; mileage has risen from 123,413 miles in September 2020 to the current figure, with no extended gaps in the documentation. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension and structural components that have repeatedly been flagged – examine the rear coil springs, anti‑roll bar bushes and pins, the condition of the rear brake pipe and its mounting points, and the integrity of the inner sills and towbar mounts for any sign of fracture or rust. In addition, verify tyre condition, especially the near‑side rear tyre with a nail, check brake fluid quality and stop‑lamp operation, and assess the front anti‑roll bar components, as these items have appeared in multiple test outcomes. Overall, the vehicle’s roadworthiness cannot be judged solely by the latest pass, as persistent corrosion, structural cracks and worn suspension parts indicate a risk of serious mechanical failure without immediate attention.
