2013 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of passes. The most recent MOT test on 15 August 2025 at 58,671 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the retest, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without any advisories for the previous three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 53,858 miles and August 2024 at 57,274 miles, the car covered only 3,416 miles. This low usage typically indicates that mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain is minimal. However, long periods of standing stationary can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components which the MOT test does not always fully capture. Given the lack of recorded recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. Check the chassis for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage cars often sit in damp environments. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or perishing, as these degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Ensure the brake discs are free of heavy surface pitting, as infrequent use can cause rust to build on the rotors.
