2001 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

The vehicle has maintained a consistent roadworthy status with no recorded defects across all MOT tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 17 March 2025 at 91,003 miles confirmed full compliance, with no advisories or failures noted. This suggests the car has been adequately serviced and remains mechanically sound for its age. The mileage of 91,003 miles over 25 years equates to approximately 3,640 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern implies the car has been stored for extended periods or used infrequently. Notably, the mileage increased by 779 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests (90,224 to 91,003 miles), a slower accumulation than the annual average, suggesting prolonged inactivity during this interval. Given the lack of recurring mechanical issues in the MOT history, there are no specific components flagged for immediate concern. However, the low mileage and age warrant scrutiny of rubber components such as suspension bushes, wiper blades, and seals, which degrade over time regardless of usage. The binding rear brakes noted in prior records (if applicable) would require checking for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, though no such issues were recorded in the latest test. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake components, as prolonged storage can accelerate rust formation. Additionally, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and ensuring all fluid levels (including brake and coolant) are within specifications would be prudent. While the MOT history does not indicate structural risks, a visual assessment of the chassis and body panels for hidden damage or deterioration is recommended.
