2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DV16 MFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a recent period of clean MOT results. The most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 120,274 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in late March 2024, the subsequent pass a month later suggests that any identified issues were addressed promptly, and the vehicle has since maintained a consistent standard of operation. The mileage reflects a high-use pattern, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 36,451 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. The jump of 11,702 miles between the April 2024 and March 2025 tests indicates regular annual use rather than long periods of inactivity. This consistent usage often prevents the internal-related issues associated with standing vehicles, though it places higher cumulative demand on the drivetrain, cooling, and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 120,274-mile mark, examine the condition of the shock absorbers, suspension bushes, and control arms for signs of play. Although the MOT history does not list advisories for structural corrosion or brake components, the high mileage justifies a close check of the brake discs for thinning and the exhaust system for excessive rust. The lack of recurring advisories in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the sheer mileage means consumables like rubber hoses may be nearing their service intervals.
