2016 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · DT65 OWJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 27 January 2026 at 24,094 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This streak of clean results indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters and that the vehicle has been maintained well enough to avoid MOT-related failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered only 6,502 miles, moving from 17,592 to 24,094 miles. The intervals between tests show a consistent annual usage pattern, suggesting the car is likely used for short urban trips or has remained stationary for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain-related components, such low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to lack of use. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on areas affected by long-term standing. A buyer must check for perished rubber bushes in the suspension and tyre sidewalls that may show cracking despite having deep tread. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as calipers can seize when vehicles are not frequently driven. Additionally, verifying the chassis for early structural rust is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage in hidden underbody areas.
