2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AP07 TZT

The MOT history for this vehicle shows an inconsistent maintenance trend with recurring electrical and structural issues. The most recent test on 12 January 2024 resulted in a failure for two tyres with tread depth below the 1.6mm legal limit, a non-functioning nearside rear stop lamp, and a split anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. While the vehicle passed following these repairs, the record indicates a pattern of neglecting basic consumables and minor electrical faults. The vehicle has covered 120,867 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,361 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a car of this age. The recorded data shows a consistent testing pattern from September 2020 through January 2024, though there is a significant gap in the official record between the January 2024 test and the current date of 31 August 2026. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside due to repeated mentions of corrosion. The September 2020 test flagged an excessively corroded nearside brake pipe, and the January 2024 test noted light corrosion under the side of the vehicle. The suspension system also requires scrutiny, as the November 2022 test recorded fractured nearside and offside front coil springs, and the December 2022 advisory noted oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. Electrical and braking systems warrant close attention. The record shows multiple instances of ABS warning lamps, failed position lamps, and windscreen wiper issues. The October 2020 advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggests wear that may have progressed. Given the history of failed tyres and electrical components, verifying the current state of all lighting, wiper blades, and braking hardware is necessary. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
