2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WP66 AEA

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 October 2025 at 42,557 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 38,008, 33,866, and 29,524 miles respectively, showing no advisories or worsening condition across the record. Annual mileage averages around 4,256 miles against a ten-year life, confirming light use for the age. The odometer moved 4,549 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, and 4,142 miles the year before, a consistent low-rate pattern with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, recording no advisories on any test, which limits insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual use can mask perished rubber and surface rust from prolonged damp standing. The clean MOT history offers no flagged structural integrity issues, yet ten-year-old vehicles commonly develop exhaust corrosion and binding calipers unseen in a pass-only record. Verify the October 2025 fail-pass pair with DVLA paperwork to rule out a clerical error. Otherwise, the vehicle shows disciplined upkeep by prior owners, with no evidence of skipped tyre or wiper maintenance across the five-year trail.
