2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DK16 AEC

The 2016 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 81,456 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior four tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across its recorded life. Mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 49,662 miles at the March 2023 test, rising to 61,241 by February 2024, 71,142 by March 2025, and 81,456 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or unexplained gaps. The data is sparse in volume but consistently clean, with only a failed entry on 5 March 2025 that carried no recorded defects and was immediately superseded by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT history flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emission issues across any test. The absence of advisories at the February 2024 and March 2025 tests at 61,241 and 71,142 miles implies previous owners kept basic consumable wear within limits, though tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition were not separately noted and warrant physical verification. Given the clean trajectory from the March 2023 test through to March 2026, structural integrity and mechanical components show no evidence of neglect. The same-day fail and pass in March 2025 reflects procedural anomaly, not deferred upkeep. Prospective owners should confirm underbody condition and brake wear in person, but the official record supports a well-maintained, low-risk purchase.
