2016 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 18 April 2026 at 85,412 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. Looking back, the car has shown a pattern of recurring advisories on front and rear brake discs and front suspension bushes, but the last clear test suggests the trend is now stable or improving after recent remedial work. The mileage accumulation has been steady, averaging about 8,500 miles per year since first registration, which aligns with typical private use for a car of this age. Tests are spaced roughly twelve months apart with no significant gaps, the only extra test being the April 2026 check that followed the January 2026 pass by a few months. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the front and rear brake discs for scoring or pitting, as these have been flagged repeatedly in earlier tests. The front suspension arm pins and bushes have shown wear on both sides, so checking for any excess movement or noise is advisable. Brake pad thickness should be verified, especially given the earlier failures and thin‑pad warnings, and the service brake fluctuation noted on the front axle warrants a test of pedal feel. Tyres should be inspected for adequate tread depth and any signs of damage such as the nail‑in‑tyre incident recorded in early 2022, and the front wing bumper should be examined for the slight damage noted in 2023.
