2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BU63 ADO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, passing its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 99,596 miles with only a minor nail defect found in the nearside rear tyre. The maintenance trend has stabilised in recent years, as the car recorded no defects during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. This suggests the current owner is addressing mechanical issues more effectively than previous keepers who struggled with avoidable failures. At 99,596 miles over 13 years, the car has covered an average of approximately 7,661 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The mileage pattern is consistent, with a jump of 7,031 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect, though the age of the car means that rubber-based components may be reaching their natural end regardless of the mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre condition given the history of recurring faults. The 2021 test flagged a fractured offside front coil spring, and multiple tests between 2021 and 2023 highlighted tyres worn to the edges or below the legal limit. This pattern suggests potential alignment issues or deferred maintenance on consumable items. A physical inspection should check for uneven tyre wear and ensure the suspension components are not showing signs of premature play or corrosion. While the recent records are clean, previous failures regarding bulbs, wipers, and tyres indicate a tendency to only rectify faults when an MOT failure occurs. There are no recorded instances of structural corrosion or brake system failures in the data, which is encouraging for a Toyota of this age. Focus the inspection on verifying the integrity of the chassis and ensuring the recent coil spring replacement was carried out with a high-quality part.
