1999 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 63,856 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that demands clarification before any purchase. Prior to this, the MOT trend was stable and clean, with passes logged on 24 October 2024 at 62,163 miles, 30 October 2023 at 61,068 miles, 24 October 2022 at 58,972 miles, and 1 November 2021 at 56,744 miles, each showing no advisories or defects. At roughly 27 years old the Yaris displays exceptionally low use, having covered only 63,856 miles or about 2,365 miles per year. The annual increments are gentle and consistent, rising just 1,419 miles between November 2021 and October 2024, then 1,693 miles to the 2025 test. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the record, and the clean pass history with zero advisories suggests light, careful mileage rather than neglected storage. A buyer should still inspect the car in person given its age and the unexplained 2025 fail. The DVSA data flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues across the five years shown, so no mechanical trend warrants alarm. The October 2025 failure with no defects recorded likely stems from a documentation or presentation error at the testing station rather than component condition. Verify the outstanding fail is cleared or understand its cause before committing funds. Examine structural integrity underneath for age-related rust, check tyres and wiper blades for perishing from low use, and confirm the brake calipers are free given the long idle intervals between short journeys.
