2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · A11 DAL

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident, though punctuated by a period of repeated tyre failures between 2022 and 2023. The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 19 November 2025 with no defects recorded, following a trend of clean passes in 2024 and late 2023. Earlier failures were limited to external lighting and significant cuts to the tyre carcasses, which were rectified to achieve the subsequent passes. The recorded mileage of 65,832 miles is low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,064 miles per year. This low annual accumulation means the vehicle has not been subjected to the typical wear and tear associated with high-mileage commuting, which generally results in less degradation of the drivetrain and interior components. Such usage patterns are often associated with shorter trips or periods of inactivity. The MOT history is notable for the absence of any recorded advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion over the last six years. This indicates that the vehicle has not been flagged for the common chassis degradation often seen in vehicles of this age, though a visual check of the underbody remains standard practice to confirm the current state of the metalwork. Given the history of major failures related to tyre cuts on both the front and rear axles, a thorough inspection of the current tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure no further damage is present. During a test drive, the driver should remain alert for any unusual vibrations or steering pull that could indicate uneven tyre wear or structural compromise in the rubber. Additionally, verify that all exterior lighting, specifically the position lamps, is fully operational to avoid a recurrence of previous failures.
