TOYOTA YARIS2004 · 1.3L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 142,161 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous issues have been successfully addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures, the transition to a clean certificate suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered roughly 9,500 miles, representing a slight increase in annual usage. The period between June 2024 and May 2025 saw a higher accumulation of 15,000 miles. This regularity suggests the car is being used consistently rather than sitting, which generally helps keep seals lubricated and prevents issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. Since the vehicle failed at 117,586 miles and again at 127,106 miles before passing shortly after, it is vital to verify that the specific components replaced—likely suspension parts or lighting elements—show no signs of premature wear. Given the age and mileage of this Yaris, a thorough underbody check for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential, as these are common areas of failure for this generation that do not always appear until they become critical.
