2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BU63 AEJ

The 2013 Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 32 664 miles, recording only an advisory on the non‑obligatory stop lamp (4.3.1 (a)(ii)). The vehicle’s maintenance record shows a consistent pattern of annual passes with no defects reported since 2016, indicating a stable and well‑maintained condition despite the vehicle’s age. The single advisory suggests a minor electrical fault that does not affect roadworthiness but warrants verification. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging roughly 2 500 miles per year over the 13‑year period. Each annual test shows a steady increase: from 10 635 miles in September 2016 to 32 664 miles in September 2025, with increments of about 2 500 miles each year. This low‑mileage profile implies lighter use and reduced wear on consumables, though it also raises the possibility of extended storage periods that can affect tyre tread, battery health, and fluid condition. The record is clean, with no gaps or abrupt mileage jumps to suggest irregular servicing. A prospective buyer should inspect the stop lamp circuit to confirm the advisory has been resolved, examine the braking system for any binding calipers or uneven disc wear, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough check for corrosion around wheel arches, underbody, and chassis is essential, as low mileage does not guarantee freedom from rust. Additionally, verify that routine services such as oil changes, filter replacements, and coolant checks have been performed, as the MOT history does not detail those maintenance tasks.
