2001 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AV51 MSU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a clean pass on April 1 2026, at 103,386 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures prior to successful passes. The failure on March 30 2026, occurring just 12 miles after the previous test, and the failure in April 2025 suggest the vehicle occasionally encounters minor non-compliance issues that are rectified immediately before the re-test. At twenty-five years old, the recorded mileage of 103,386 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,135 miles. The data shows a significant spike in usage between June 2024 (84,962 miles) and April 2025 (92,325 miles), where the car covered over 7,000 miles in under ten months. However, the rate slowed again significantly, with only 11,061 miles covered between April 2025 and 2026. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear on the drivetrain. Because the record shows no recorded defects or advisories, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and age-related failures common to this era. Examine the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, which are frequent weak points for this model. The buyer should also inspect the suspension for perished bushes and check for binding brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from component seizing due to periods of lack of use.
