2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · OE60 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 January 2026 with 103,087 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes over the last three years. While the record shows technical failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests minor issues were rectified quickly rather than indicating a systemic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between January 2024 at 86,902 miles and January 2025 at 94,551 miles, the vehicle covered 7,649 miles. The subsequent interval saw 8,536 miles covered before the January 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular operation, which often prevents the seizing of seals in drivetrain and suspension components, though it does necessitate the monitoring of rubber-based parts and fluid degradation due to age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake system, as the MOT record does not flag specific recurring faults like worn bushes or binding calipers. Given the vehicle's age of sixteen years, a close look at structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential to identify hidden corrosion that standard testing might miss. Since the history is clean of advisories, the previous owner likely addressed minor items promptly, but the high age means components like rubber hoses and bushings may be nearing their functional life regardless of mileage.
