2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · AD09 BWP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 14 December 2022 at 89,100 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just five days prior at 89,051 miles. This pattern suggests a minor, easily rectifiable issue—such as a blown bulb or minor adjustment requirement—that was addressed immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,241 miles per year. Data shows significant intervals between tests, with the jump from 77,457 miles in November 2020 to 82,613 miles in November 2021. This low-frequency usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber seals, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion due to periods of the vehicle remaining stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to long-term sitting rather than high mileage wear. While the MOT history shows no recorded adviserories for structural rust or suspension components, the age of the car necessitates a close check of artwork line corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the tyres for dry rotting and the brake disc surfaces, as these often perish through age before they wear out on low-use vehicles.
