2004 Toyota Yaris T Spirit Auto 1.3L Other · MKZ 2207

The 2004 Toyota Yaris T Spirit Auto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 40,193 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 40,193 miles against 22 years of age, an average of roughly 1,827 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and consistent use: 30,014 miles in June 2019, 31,004 in February 2022, 33,451 in March 2023, 35,187 in May 2024, and 40,193 in May 2025. A three-year gap separates the 2019 and 2022 entries, but annual increments since then stay under 4,200 miles. The record carries no advisories, failures, or flagged consumable wear. A clean MOT trail with zero advisories does not certify condition, only that the car met minimum legal standards on test days. Low annual mileage paired with the 2019 to 2022 layoff suggests prolonged standing, which commonly degrades tyres, brake calipers, and suspension bushes through inactivity rather than use. The buyer should physically inspect for flat-spotted tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms, and perished rubber components. Structural corrosion remains the principal risk on a 22-year-old hatchback despite no MOT-flagged rust. The tester recorded no structural defects, yet sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrant close examination beneath the car. Verify the automatic transmission engages without slip and that fluid remains clean, as low-mileage automatics often suffer neglected servicing.
