2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · DA02 EXG

The 2002 Toyota Yaris presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 16 November 2024 at 113,546 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2023 and 2022 alongside two failed tests on the same dates as passes that logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No worsening pattern or recurring advisories emerge from the record. Recorded mileage sits at 113,546 miles against roughly 24 years of age, equating to about 4,731 miles per year and marking low use for a vehicle of this period. The tests show 102,132 miles on 14 November 2022, 107,895 miles on 17 November 2023, and 113,546 miles on 16 November 2024, a steady annual accumulation near 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Such low throughput suggests lighter running, though the identical-mileage fail and pass pairs on both 2022 and 2024 dates imply the car may have been presented without prior correction or rebooked the same day. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's age, focusing on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points where 2002-era Toyotas can degrade if stored outdoors. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite the clean MOT outcomes, as the DVSA record carries no advisories to confirm wear limits on those components. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries with no defects logged point to clerical or submission errors by previous testers rather than owner neglect of consumables. Verify the V5C and service history to confirm the low mileage is genuine, and test-drive for any binding calipers or exhaust emissions irregularity not captured in the official data.
