2011 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · WJ11 AEB

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 169,634 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car has transitioned from recurring failures to consecutive passes with no recorded defects. While the history indicates previous issues, the most recent inspection results suggest that the current or recent owner has addressed the necessary mechanical requirements to bring the car up to minimum legal standards. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test and the December 2024 test, the car covered 6,878 miles, while it clocked another 6,689 miles in the following year leading to the December 2025 test. This regularity suggests steady-term use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals, suspension components, and brakes to prevent corrosion and seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that caused the failures in December 2023 and December 2024, although the provided record does not specify the exact mechanical faults for those dates. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential as these often wear out on Yaris of this age. You should also inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and subframes, as high-mileage Japanese vehicles are prone to surface rust over time despite a clean MOT history.
