TOYOTA YARIS2007 · 1.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a pattern of immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 125,245 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This sequence suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults immediately to ensure compliance, and the lack of advisories across the last three passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. The mileage profile is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 6,097 miles, followed by an additional 12,742 miles in the subsequent year. This recent increase in usage suggests the vehicle is being used regularly rather than left to sit, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals, though the steady accumulation of miles at this age does lead to expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in February 2025 and 2026, as the records provided do not detail the exact reasons for these declines. Given the age of the Yaris, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential, as these areas often suffer. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake calipers for binding conditions, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Toyotas that might trigger an MOT fail.
