1999 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L PETROL

The 1999 Toyota Yaris has a recent MOT result from 2025-10-11, recorded at 124,068 miles, which shows a pass but with multiple defects. These include offside front tyre wear near the legal limit, surface corrosion on the underside and suspension, a corroded brake pipe covered in grease, and a corroded fuel pipe filler neck. A prior MOT on the same date also recorded a fail , citing severe chassis corrosion within 30cm of body mounting points on both nearside and offside rear sections, along with similar issues on front chassis areas. This suggests persistent structural and corrosion risks. Recurring mechanical patterns include chassis and underbody corrosion , brake pipe degradation , and tyre wear . The 2023-11-20 failed MOT highlighted severe chassis corrosion on multiple sections, while the 2023-11-21 passed MOT noted a corroded brake pipe and underbody corrosion. The 2024-10-28 passed MOT included a minor exhaust leak and parking brake inefficiency. These issues indicate a stable trend of corrosion and wear , with no significant improvement over time. The 2025 MOT’s pass likely reflects repairs to critical defects, but surface-level corrosion and tyre wear remain unresolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 124,068 miles over 27 years equates to roughly 4,595 miles per year, which is low for its age .
