2001 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · WU51 AZL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 105,101 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing subsequent tests after initial failures, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to maintain the vehicle's legal standing. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,204 miles per year. Between 19 March 2024 and 4 March 2026, the odometer increased by only 3,149 miles. Such low usage often indicates a vehicle used for short local trips or one that has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than high-mileage motorway use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded advisories or defects across several years. While the failures on 21 February 2024 and 24 February 2025 are noted, the lack of specific defect data in the record makes it impossible to identify recurring mechanical trends. The absence of flagged corrosion or suspension wear is positive, but highly atypical for a 2001 model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber suspension bushes, brittle coolant hoses, and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion. Given the low annual mileage, verify the health of the battery and check for signs of tyre perishing or flat-spotting. A thorough underside inspection for structural rust is essential, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of the chassis integrity.
