2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CX07 UYY

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 21 May 2025 at 78,110 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. This clean record suggests consistent basic upkeep, though the duplicated fail and pass entries on the same dates warrant scrutiny. Recorded mileage stands at 78,110 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 4,111 miles per year. The car covered 3,236 miles between the February 2023 test at 70,926 miles and the January 2024 test at 74,162 miles, then 3,948 miles to the May 2025 test. Such low annual use implies prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishment in suspension bushes and brake caliper seizing even without recorded faults. The May 2025 and January 2024 entries each show a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileages with no defects listed. This pattern typically reflects administrative re-test processing rather than rectified faults, but a buyer should confirm no suppressed advisory data exists. Given the age, inspect brake discs for corrosion from disuse, check suspension arms and coil springs for fatigue, and verify exhaust emissions under cold start. Structural integrity shows no recorded concerns across all three years of tests. A pre-purchase inspection should still assess underbody chassis rails and sills for rust, as 19-year-old vehicles commonly develop corrosion unseen in MOT summaries. The low mileage does not exempt the Yaris from age-related degradation of consumable components.
