Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h
The most critical step is to ensure the vehicle passes a fresh MOT before any funds are exchanged, as it has been off the road or untested for over four years. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely cost of bringing the vehicle back to a roadworthy standard after such a long period of inactivity.
Request all available service records to determine if any maintenance was performed during the gap in MOT history. Be wary of any claims regarding the vehicle's current state that cannot be backed up by a recent, official inspection report.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and placing the car in a modest insurance group. Road tax for a 2001 model is based on engine size and emissions, which generally remains affordable for this class of city car.
Typical maintenance costs for the Yaris are usually low, but a vehicle that has sat idle for years may require immediate investment in a new battery, fresh fluids, and new tyres. Annual running costs are estimated to be low once the vehicle is roadworthy.
Focus your inspection on the anti-roll bar, tyres, and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for the Yaris model according to aggregate data. Given the 2022 MOT date, pay close attention to the tyres for perishing or flat spots and the braking system for signs of corrosion or seizure.
Check for leaks around the engine and transmission that may have developed during the period of inactivity. Ensure the engine starts without excessive cranking and that there are no warning lights on the dashboard that indicate electronic failures resulting from a dead battery.
This silver 2001 Toyota Yaris features a 1.3L petrol engine and had a recorded mileage of 118,368 miles at its last MOT in March 2022. While that specific test was passed without any defects recorded, the absence of any MOT data between 2022 and September 2026 is a significant concern. The vehicle's age and the long gap in its testing history make it a high-risk purchase.
The Yaris has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across an analysis of 470,762 vehicles.
