2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · DA02 GTY

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 30 June 2025 at 69,772 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an irregular DVSA outcome that points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a clear mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed every annual test from 2021 through 2024 with no advisories, so the underlying maintenance trend across those four years reads as stable and clean. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2002 Toyota Yaris. The odometer moved from 64,841 miles in July 2021 to 69,772 miles by June 2025, an average of roughly 1,200 miles a year. That gentle accumulation across the five entries suggests long periods of standing or very light local use. No gaps appear in the annual cadence, and the absence of any recorded advisories means the history is sparse but unblemished before the final failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly beneath the sills and suspension mounting points, given the car's age and likely damp storage during low-use periods. Standing vehicles often develop seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded suspension bushes that a clean MOT sheet will not reveal. The unexplained 2025 failure must be clarified with the testing station before purchase. Confirm whether it was a documentation omission or a concealed defect. Until that is resolved, treat the Yaris as not roadworthy despite the otherwise tidy twelve-month test record.
