2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU61 AEM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 83,333 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a streak of perfect results over the last five years. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the owner has likely stayed ahead of the mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 58,608 miles and January 2026 at 83,333 miles, the car covered 24,725 miles, showing a consistent and low-usage profile. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyre sidewalls which do not always manifest as immediate MOT failures until they become significant. While the record shows no faults, a buyer should still inspect specific areas susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Focus on the chassis for signs of surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as stationary vehicles can trap moisture and accelerate rust. Check the brake discs for pitting or heavy corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle is used infrequently. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres and check for dry cracking despite sufficient tread depth.
