Our Verdict
Approach this 2002 Toyota Yaris with caution and a thorough inspection, as its 2018 MOT failure and recurring corrosion advisories suggest underlying wear. It remains a low-mileage example for its age, but budget for suspension and braking upkeep before committing.
When viewing DV02VYH, prioritise a recent service history to confirm routine maintenance has been kept up, as the MOT data alone does not show this. Given the 2018 failure for rear brake effort and uneven application, plus corroded brake pipes noted in 2019, ask the seller about brake system repairs and request evidence of any work carried out since. Use the minor defects such as the 2020 offside headlamp lens issue and 2019 drive shaft boot deterioration as negotiation points on price, as these are inexpensive but indicate deferred cosmetic and rubber-component care.
As a 1.0-litre petrol Toyota from 2002, this Yaris should be cheap to tax and insure, with the small engine returning good fuel economy suited to city use. Typical maintenance costs are low for the model, though age-related items like brake pipes and bushes will need periodic attention based on the MOT record. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is around £700-£900, assuming average mileage and no major repairs.
The 2018 MOT failure listed Nearside Rear brake recording little or no effort and uneven rear brake application, so physically check the rear brakes and drums for condition and function, and confirm the Offside Rear axle swivel joint mounting flange bolt is secure. Corrosion is a recurring theme: the 2019 test noted integral body structure corrosion and both rear brake pipes corroded, so inspect underneath for rust, especially around the suspension and pipes. Also examine the Nearside Front constant velocity boot which was severely deteriorated in 2019, and the worn anti-roll bar bushes, as these can lead to handling issues if not replaced.
This green 998cc petrol Yaris registered as DV02VYH in June 2002 shows a recorded 69,786 miles at its last MOT in October 2021, which is low for a 24-year-old car. The MOT history includes a failed test in May 2018 for headlamp aim, rear brake effort, and an insecure axle bolt, though it passed a retest three weeks later and has since shown only minor advisories. Recurring notes on corrosion to brake pipes and body structure, plus worn anti-roll bar bushes, indicate age-related deterioration that a buyer should factor in.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the Toyota Yaris, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of DV02VYH.
