AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 12 December 2025 at 92,552 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend stays stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any interval. The vehicle cleared its 19 November 2024 examination at 82,835 miles and its 7 December 2023 check at 70,475 miles, both with clean sheets. Oddly, the record lists concurrent fail results on those same dates with no defects cited, a pattern that suggests administrative duplication rather than owner neglect. The lack of recorded wear items implies previous keepers presented the car in a baseline compliant state. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a decade-old supermini. The odometer advanced from 70,475 miles in December 2023 to 82,835 miles by November 2024, a 12,360-mile span over eleven months. Subsequent yearly growth to 92,552 miles by December 2025 equates to roughly 9,700 miles, aligning with the long-term average of 9,255 miles per annum. No prolonged dormancy or abrupt accumulation emerges from the figures. The sparse but consistent test history shows no gap exceeding thirteen months, implying the keeper maintained statutory testing discipline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core components despite the absence of recorded advisories. Examine front suspension bushes and rear coil springs for fatigue, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for corrosion. The exhaust emissions system warrants a visual scan for leaks. Verify the anomalous fail entries directly with DVSA to confirm they reflect retest artefacts rather than suppressed faults.
