2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FY57 AEP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last six years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 95,518 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the previous owner has maintained the car to a high standard. This clean sweep across multiple tests suggests that the mechanical and structural integrity remains sound without immediate neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap in testing between July 2019 and April 2021, during which the car covered only 5,504 miles over two years. Since 2021, usage has remained consistent, moving from roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles added annually. This low-frequency use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals and fluids. Despite the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. A buyer should check the rubber elements, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls which may perish or crack over time regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, examining the chassis for surface corrosion or structural thinning is essential, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or seized pistons is also wise for low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods.
