2016 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 1 July 2026 at 43,023 miles. This latest test recorded no defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of corrective work in 2022 and 2023, followed by a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This pattern is evident in the progression from 12,827 miles in May 2019 to the current 43,023 miles. While low mileage often suggests lighter usage, the vehicle has clearly remained in regular service. The gap between the 2025 test at 37,915 miles and the 2026 test shows a consistent annual interval, suggesting the car is not sitting idle for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and wheel assemblies during a physical inspection. The June 2023 failure at 29,750 miles highlighted thin front brake pads, worn discs, and a rough nearside rear wheel bearing. Although these issues were cleared, the 2022 test also flagged worn front discs and thinning pads. This indicates that while the vehicle is well-maintained, the braking components are subject to standard wear. The 2025 test noted items removed from the driver's view, which is a minor compliance matter rather than a mechanical fault. Given the low mileage and the clean recent history, the primary focus should remain on verifying that the wheel bearings and brake components have been properly serviced following the previous failures. No evidence of structural corrosion or suspension component degradation appears in the recorded history.
