2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BN65 WVP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the test results indicate a deteriorating maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 2025-07-29 was passed at 24,865 miles, yet the MOT record shows a series of failures in subsequent years, including a nearside rear nail in the tyre on 2025-07-29 and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit on 2024-07-29. This sequence suggests that the owner has not maintained the vehicle with basic upkeep, as the wear patterns are consistent with a lack of regular servicing. The gap between the 2023-08-04 and 2022-07-27 tests, where a front tyre was cut but not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, indicates a significant lack of attention to critical components like suspension bushings and coil springs, which are prone to corrosion and structural failure. The mileage accumulation is particularly concerning given the vehicle's age of approximately 11 years. The record shows a rapid increase in total distance, with the lowest mileage of 16,917 miles recorded in 2023, followed by a steep climb to 24,865 miles in 2025. This rapid growth suggests that the owner has not driven the car regularly or has avoided maintenance entirely, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. The fact that the first test was passed at 24,865 miles but the subsequent tests show wear on tyres and components that have not been addressed implies that the vehicle has experienced a significant amount of damage over the past three years, which is inconsistent with a low-mileage owner. Given the recurring faults of worn tyres, cracked or perishing tyres, and structural damage to suspension and brake components, the vehicle is not roadworthy. The owner must inspect the car in person to identify and replace any worn bushings, coil springs, or brake discs, as well as to check for structural integrity issues such as corrosion or cracks in the chassis or undercarriage. The vehicle's reliability is compromised by the lack of regular maintenance, and the driver must ensure that the mechanical risks, such as brake failure or suspension collapse, are addressed before driving the car again.
