2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AF13 TUJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on January 2026 at 105,899 miles, it failed earlier that same day with multiple minor electrical and consumable defects. These included failed bulbs for stop lamps and registration plate illumination, alongside an ineffective windscreen wiper. This trend suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical issues when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical urban use case for this age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 31,195 miles between the October 2024 test at 74,704 miles and the January 2026 test at 105,899 miles. This high rate of usage over a fifteen-month period explains the rapid wear observed on consumables, specifically the front tyres which fell below legal tread depth limits in both the 2024 and 2026 intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the electrical system, as the recurring failure of headlamps and indicators indicates potential wiring issues or poor-quality bulbs. The state of the wiper blades and motor requires immediate attention given the recent failure for not clearing the glass effectively. Because the record shows no recorded structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the focus should remain on checking the suspension bushes and tyres for wear, as the high-mileage stretch between recent tests increases the likelihood of rubber components reaching the end of their functional life.
