TOYOTA YARIS2016 · 1.3L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-03 at 72,309 miles recorded a pass with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, though the absence of defects in the latest test implies no immediate roadworthiness concerns. Over the past two years, the car has maintained a stable trend, with passes in 2025-04-28 (63,944 miles) and 2024-03-27 (54,855 miles), both without defects. The recent failure without recorded faults is unexplained but does not indicate a worsening condition based on available data. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,231 miles annually. The 2024-03-27 test at 54,855 miles and subsequent 2025-04-28 test at 63,944 miles show gradual accumulation, with no significant gaps or rapid increases. The 2026-04-03 test at 72,309 miles confirms consistent usage. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring issues or advisories, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. A buyer should verify the cause of the unexplained 2026-04-03 failure, as it may reflect a technical error or a minor issue overlooked during testing. Inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be assessed, as these are common areas for degradation in older vehicles. The lack of defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the failed MOT warrants further investigation to confirm the vehicle’s reliability.
