TOYOTA YARIS2007 · 1.3L Petrol

The most recent MOT test on 16 March 2023 at 111,707 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend impossible to assess from outcomes alone. Prior to that, the car passed on 30 March 2022 at 103,285 miles after a failure on 15 March 2022 at 103,279 miles, and passed on 10 March 2021 at 96,608 miles following a same-day failure at 96,606 miles. The repeated fail-pass pairs with zero recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than confirmed mechanical faults, but the lack of advisory data denies any view of wear progression. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2007 vehicle, rising from 96,606 miles in March 2021 to 111,707 miles by March 2023, an average of roughly 7,550 miles per year across that span and about 5,879 miles annually over its life. The gap between the March 2022 and March 2023 tests accounts for the bulk of recent accumulation, while the 19-year age with sub-6,000-mile yearly average points to either gentle commuting or extended standing periods. Sparse test history with no defect lines limits any inference on consumable turnover. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low annual mileage that can mask corrosion and seized components from inactivity. The tester flagged no structural integrity or exhaust emissions concerns across the record, yet the unexplained 2023 failure means the DVSA database holds no valid pass within the last three years relative to today's date of 18 July 2026. Verify the V5C, confirm why the final test failed with no defects logged, and assess underneath for rust before any purchase.
