2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV09 LHF

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 159,368 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 through 2025 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 159,368 against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 9,375 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 133,583 miles on 21 December 2022, 141,537 on 5 January 2024, 148,474 on 7 January 2025, and 159,368 on 12 January 2026. A single anomaly appears on 5 January 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The clean record across five years suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. No advisories or defects were raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion at any stage. The absence of flagged wear means the tester found nothing requiring monitor-level attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as a clean MOT does not certify component life remaining beyond the test day. Given the 17-year age and high total mileage, in-person checks should target front suspension arm bushes, subframe corrosion, and rear silencer condition. The history implies competent routine upkeep rather than deferred maintenance, but rubber and metal fatigue at this age is best confirmed on a ramp before purchase.
