2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CX59 TCZ

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 10 September 2025 at 146,717 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test, and the prior annual examinations in August 2024 and August 2023 also returned passes with no advisories noted. The two failure entries dated 5 September 2025 and 25 August 2023 are anomalous in that the DVSA record shows no defects against either, suggesting administrative rejections or documentation errors rather than mechanical faults. The odometer shows 146,717 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 8,630 miles per year which is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 132,316 in August 2023 to 140,788 by August 2024, then to 146,717 by September 2025, reflecting steady low-to-moderate use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean advisory history across all recorded tests implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the absence of any flagged wear items is unusual for a 17-year-old car and may reflect light testing scrutiny rather than a flawless chassis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for lip wear and binding, as the MOT record offers no evidence either way on friction components beyond the pass results. The repeated no-defect failures without listed faults mean the DVSA data alone cannot confirm structural integrity or hidden mechanical condition. Treat the clean record as a baseline, not a guarantee, and verify underside rust, exhaust condition, and tyre sidewall age before purchase.
