2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DG09 LSN

This Toyota Yaris is in a stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 72,836 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean test results over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,284 miles per year. Between 9 April 2024 and 7 April 2026, the odometer rose from 66,015 to 72,836 miles. This indicates a steady, low-intensity usage pattern of approximately 3,400 miles annually over the last two years. Such low usage often preserves the interior and engine internals but can lead to specific issues related to vehicle dormancy. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and coolant hoses can perish over seventeen years. Given the lack of recorded defects in the MOT history, the vehicle appears well-kept, but the low mileage suggests a risk of seized brake calipers or degraded battery health from infrequent long-distance trips. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and sills, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis beyond the pass results. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for oil changes is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from long intervals between lubricant refreshes during its periods of low use.
