TOYOTA YARIS2002 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 94,218 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car remains in good mechanical condition. This follows a consistent streak of clean passes in 2025, 2024, and 2023, suggesting that the current owner proactively addresses minor issues before they can escalate into test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,926 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 85,220 miles and January 2026 at 94,218 miles, the car covered 8,998 miles, showing consistent but light usage patterns. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components. However, the long intervals between tests and low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to corrosion. While the MOT record shows no recent advisories, the chassis should be checked for surface rust around the sills and wheel arches which is common for this era. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The single failure in January 2023 at 79,511 miles was resolved immediately, but verifying the nature of that specific fault would provide further insight into the previous maintenance standards.
