2009 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset with an improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 December 2025 at 99,426 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that any previous issues from earlier tests have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures in prior years, the transition to clean test sheets suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,850 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 7,066 miles driven between the November 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 6,178 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-distance use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid ingress if not regularly exercised. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in November 2023 and 2024, as the provided record does not detail the exact mechanical faults for those instances. Given the age of the Yaris, it is vital to inspect the chassis for corrosion along the sills and rear suspension mounts, where rust often develops regardless of low mileage. Additionally, check the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for seizing, as low-frequency use may have caused environmental-related wear over the nearly two decades.
