2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DG15 TYB

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness record with no defects logged across its last five MOT tests, including the most recent double-entry in March 2025 at 71,317 miles. The absence of advisories or failures beyond a minor administrative duplication suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, at least in terms of meeting MOT compliance. The fact that the tester cleared it without any recorded issues—despite the double test—implies no obvious mechanical red flags such as suspension wear, brake binding, or structural corrosion were present at the time. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, this consistency is uncommon and points to either meticulous servicing or a history of low-impact use. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,483 miles per year aligns closely with the average for its age group, suggesting neither excessive wear from high mileage nor neglect from prolonged inactivity. The gaps between tests are uniform, with annual checks at similar mileage intervals (e.g., 63,979 miles in March 2022 to 66,717 miles in March 2023, a 2,738-mile increase). This regularity reduces concerns about deferred maintenance or sudden mechanical deterioration. However, the double MOT entry in 2025—where the vehicle passed the first test but failed the second on the same day—raises a procedural curiosity, though it does not reflect a mechanical issue. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still verify key wear items in person, particularly those not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension components, such as the condition of the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and rubber bushes, which may show fatigue beyond MOT thresholds. Check for any signs of binding in the brake calipers or uneven wear on the discs, even if not recorded in the MOT. Structural integrity should be assessed for early corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, as these areas are prone to hidden deterioration. While the MOT record is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would confirm whether the vehicle’s underlying condition matches its flawless test history.
