2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AE13 VGF

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 91,112 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes from February 2023 to February 2025. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire record, indicating the previous owner kept the vehicle to a consistent test standard. The mileage pattern sits at typical levels for a 13-year-old car, averaging around 7,009 miles per year. The records show steady annual accumulation: 72,744 miles in February 2023, 78,788 in February 2024, 84,665 in February 2025, and 91,112 in February 2026. The roughly 6,000-mile yearly increments reflect regular use without standing periods or sudden high-mileage spikes. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a single failed entry on 20 February 2023 at 72,744 miles showing no recorded defects, immediately superseded by a pass the same day. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The MOT history flags none of these, but the test regime only captures failures at the pass threshold and will not list worn components within tolerance. The February 2023 fail with no defects logged suggests an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass confirms no lasting concern. Given the unbroken pass sequence since early 2023, previous ownership points to basic but sufficient upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The absence of tyre, wiper, or exhaust advisories across 18,000 miles of recorded testing implies consumables were renewed before each test. A pre-purchase check should verify actual tread depth and structural integrity beneath sills and arches, as these areas escape MOT reporting until corrosion becomes significant.
