TOYOTA YARIS2016 · 1.3L Petrol

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 55,026 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its initial inspection on 6 May 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative error or a trivial fault rectified immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,503 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 35,281 to 45,136 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered fewer than 10,000 miles over two years, indicating a pattern of light urban use or periods of inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across five years of testing. This absence of flagged wear is atypical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or very gentle usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals, the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, and ensure the braking system has not seized due to the low annual mileage. Verify that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of contamination, as low-mileage cars often suffer from shorter trip cycles that prevent the engine from reaching full operating temperature.
