TOYOTA YARIS2013 · 1.3L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the recorded period. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 54,604 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any issues identified by the tester were rectified immediately before the re-test, indicating a level of proactive attention to mechanical faults when they are flagged. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 42,573 miles and the 2024 test at 50,500 miles, the car covered 7,927 miles, while it covered only 4,104 miles in the subsequent year. This low-frequency usage pattern typically reduces internal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts failing due to age and perishation rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during periods of low use. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the lack of recorded advisories means the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs must be verified manually. Check for signs of brake binding or seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for extended periods. Given the age relative to the mileage, verifying the condition of the tyre rubber and fluid integrity is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long intervals of inactivity.
