2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · AP02 FSS

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 100,288 miles passed with only a minor advisory for clouded headlamp lenses. This represents an improvement over the previous year's test where multiple mechanical and lighting defects were identified. The lack of major failures in the latest record suggests the current owner is addressing identified issues before they become critical failures. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,288 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,179 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 15,000 miles driven between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 7,300 miles covered between September 2024 and September 2025. While low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals of relatively low use can sometimes lead to dry corrosion on brake components or the degradation of rubber suspension elements. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system based on historical faults. The 2024 test flagged worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes, which should be checked for play or audible creaking that indicates the need for replacement. Additionally, the 2023 report of a binding rear service brake requires a physical test to ensure the caliper piston or wheel cylinder has not seized due to periods of low use. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of structural integrity around the sills and wing arches is essential, as low-mileage cars often suffer from hidden rust that is not reflected in mileage figures.
