2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MM15 AAE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-15 at 44,923 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting current compliance. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-14 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues, raising questions about procedural accuracy or potential technical anomalies. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past four years. The lack of recurring faults implies no systemic mechanical or structural concerns, though the recent failed test at identical mileage requires clarification. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~4,084 miles reflects minimal usage, which may preserve components like brakes and suspension but risks underuse-related issues such as brake caliper binding or battery degradation. The MOTs are spaced annually, aligning with standard requirements, and no gaps in testing are evident. The absence of defects across all tests suggests the previous failure was an isolated administrative or technical error, not a mechanical shortcoming. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual wear. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, which may develop in infrequently driven vehicles. Verify the brake calipers and discs for binding, a common issue in cars with limited use. Confirm the battery’s condition, as prolonged inactivity can lead to discharge. The MOT history indicates no urgent structural or safety risks, but physical inspection remains critical to validate the record’s accuracy.
