2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DN11 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 130,179 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In March 2026, the car failed a test just five miles prior to its success, and a similar situation occurred in March 2025 at the same mileage. These failures suggest minor issues, such as blown bulbs or minor lighting adjustments, which the previous owner addressed immediately before re-testing. The mileage profile is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 1,368 miles, indicating a period of significantly lower use. However, the mileage increased by 11,364 miles in the following year leading to the 2026 test, returning to typical usage levels. The five-mile gap between the 2026 failure and pass indicates that the defect was likely a simple consumable item replacement rather than a significant mechanical failure requiring extensive repairs. While the MOT history shows no major defects or advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear. Focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity for signs of corrosion, as these areas often degrade on Toyotas exceeding 130,000 miles. Given the periods of low mileage, check the rubber components for cracking and ensure the brake calipers have not seized from the vehicle standing for long durations. The lack of advisory notes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard despite the intermittent test failures.
