2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · DA20 BHJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026 at 14,038 miles with no recorded defects. The failure on the same date was a minor advisory regarding the front windscreen wiper, which the seller rectified before the retest. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, with four consecutive passes from 2023 through 2026. The car is currently roadworthy and free of major mechanical or structural advisories in the official record. At roughly 2,340 miles per year, this Yaris has accumulated significantly less distance than a typical family runabout. The odometer reads 14,038 miles against a six-year age, suggesting either infrequent use or extended periods of standing. Between the 2023 test at 6,662 miles and the 2024 test at 9,298 miles, the vehicle covered 2,636 miles in a single year, which aligns with the average. However, the gap between the 2025 test at 11,848 miles and the 2026 test at 14,038 miles shows only 2,190 miles added in twelve months. This low usage means consumable components like suspension bushes and brake pads should still have substantial life remaining, though the buyer should verify this physically given the lack of regular wear. The sole recorded fault was the windscreen wiper, a consumable item rather than a mechanical failure. Since there are no advisories on suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the structural integrity appears sound on paper. Inspect the front wiper linkage and rubber blade for cracking or seizing, as the failure suggests the previous owner may have neglected this specific component until it was flagged. Beyond the glass, check the brake discs for scoring and the suspension arms for play, as low mileage does not always guarantee these parts have been serviced to a high standard. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a physical inspection will confirm whether the car has been driven regularly enough to keep consumables in good condition.
