2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GL54 AAO

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 105,047 miles, with only advisory items recorded. The pattern of defects over the past decade shows a stable maintenance trend; earlier failures on lighting and wheel‑bearing play were remedied and have not recurred, while recent advisories relate chiefly to wear‑items rather than structural faults. Mileage averages roughly 4,800 miles per year, well below the typical annual run‑off for a 2004 model. The record shows a steady increase from 42,927 miles in June 2013 to 105,047 miles in September 2025, with no abrupt spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use. The low‑mileage profile implies lighter duty and potentially longer component life, though it also raises the possibility of prolonged storage periods that can affect rubber and corrosion‑prone parts. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front anti‑roll bar linkage bushes, flagged as worn in the 2025 test, and the front brake disc, noted as pitted and the front brake hose, described as slightly deteriorated. The tyre condition warrants visual inspection, as both front and nearside rear tyres were recorded with cracking or perishing in the latest advisory. Verify that the windscreen chip in zone A is still within acceptable limits and that the registration plate characters remain legible. Finally, confirm that the previously failed position lamps and the off‑side rear wheel bearing have been correctly repaired, ensuring no lingering safety concerns.
