2016 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the January 2026 MOT at 14,643 miles recorded a pass with no defects. All previous MOTs from May 2019 through January 2026 have also passed without recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The recorded mileage of 14,643 at ten years old equates to roughly 1,464 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the May 2019 test at 4,883 miles and the December 2020 test at 6,485 miles shows a rapid accumulation of 1,602 miles in seven months, suggesting a period of increased use. Recurring issues include an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and tyres showing cracking or perishing in both front and rear treads, first noted at 10,385 miles in November 2023 and repeated at 4,883 miles in May 2019. A buyer should therefore verify tyre tread depth, test the TPMS sensor, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake calipers for binding and brake discs for scoring, and inspect the chassis and exhaust for corrosion, as these components have been flagged repeatedly despite the overall clean record. These points address the mechanical concerns highlighted in the history and provide a clear focus for a thorough pre‑purchase inspection.
