AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 10 January 2025 at 174,090 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage, and the test outcomes from 2023 through 2025 reflect a clean record with no escalating concerns. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2004 registered Yaris, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year against the 174,090 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 164,777 miles at the January 2023 test to 168,803 miles in January 2024, then to 174,090 miles by January 2025, a steady accumulation of around 4,000 to 5,300 miles annually. Two same-day fail and pass pairs on 17 January 2023 and 10 January 2025, both at near-identical mileages and with no defects logged, suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. Given the absence of flagged wear in the official record, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items not always captured by MOT testing. At 22 years old and 174,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close examination, alongside brake disc thickness and caliper operation. The clean history implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse entries offer limited insight into consumable renewal such as tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust condition between tests. A pre-purchase check of structural integrity underneath the sills and wheel arches remains prudent on a vehicle of this vintage.
