2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DF13 ADO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the October 2025 test resulted in only a minor advisory for worn front brake discs rather than a failure. This follows a clean result from the previous year, suggesting that the car is being maintained well enough to address issues before they escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging only about 3,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between tests, such as the roughly 4,500 miles covered between July 2023 and October 2025. This low-frequency use generally means less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber components drying out or brakes seizing due to age rather than friction. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as both side arm pins and bushes were previously flagged for wear in 2022. Although these did not result in excessive movement at that time, they represent a known point of wear on this specific vehicle. Additionally, since the most recent test noted worn front brake discs, a physical inspection should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and ensure the rotors are not heavily pitted from sitting. Given the low mileage, it is also wise to check for signs of age-related degradation in hoses and seals, which can occur when cars are driven infrequently. The previous failure regarding the windscreen wiper in 2024 indicates that minor items are occasionally overlooked, so the buyer should Ensure all visibility and lighting components are in good condition.
