2007 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 April 2025 at 112,888 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully maintained the vehicle to safety and emissions standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the DVSA. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low usage, such as the 4,482 miles covered between November 2022 and April 2025. The car covered only 1,715 miles in the three-year period between 2019 and 2022, suggesting it was used sparingly for short trips or remained stationary. This low accumulation generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading from long periods of standing. While the clean MOT record suggests well-kept mechanics, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mileage. A buyer must check for perished suspension rubber, cracked tyre sidewalls, and brake corrosion which often occur when cars sit idle. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis and exhaust system for structural rust is essential, as the MOT only identifies significant corrosion once it reaches a point of failure. The lack of recorded advisories in the history suggests the vehicle is currently in good mechanical condition.
