2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BG09 ECZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on three consecutive clean passes over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2024 at 148,001 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets the minimum safety requirements without triggering any mechanical or structural failures during the inspection process. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8 thousand miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2023, the car covered 7,813 miles, followed by another 7,790 miles between January 2023 and February 2024. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals, seized brakes, or degraded fluids in older cars. Despite the clean history, the 17-year age of the Toyota Yaris necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-components that are prone to age-related degradation regardless of mileage. A buyer should inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly along the sills and suspension mounting points, as MOT tests only check for structural integrity once rust becomes significant. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes and bushings should be checked for cracking or tearing, as these are common points of failure that do not always trigger an MOT fail until they reach a critical state.
