2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EX63 DFL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 21,388 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day. This pattern mirrors the February 2025 test where a failure immediately preceded a clean pass. This consistency suggests that while minor issues occasionally trigger a failure, the vehicle is maintained to a passing standard between tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,645 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 803 miles, and it added another 783 miles in the following year. This low usage indicates the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary or undertook very short trips. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk associated with age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which does not correlate directly with mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components sensitive to low-mileage use and time. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or seized pistons, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and pitting. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or rot, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the low mileage, verify the service history for annual oil changes to ensure the engine has not been subjected to moisture contamination during long periods of inactivity.
