2013 Toyota Yaris TR D-4D 1.4L Diesel · EXZ 3427

The Toyota Yaris TR-D has maintained an exemplary MOT history, with four consecutive passes spanning from October 2021 to January 2026—all without any advisories or defects. The most recent test in January 2026 at 139,829 miles confirms the vehicle remains structurally sound and mechanically compliant under current DVSA standards. This consistency suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no signs of neglect or recurring issues that might indicate deeper mechanical problems. The absence of even minor advisories over this period is particularly notable, as it implies either meticulous upkeep or simply good fortune in avoiding common wear points. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 10,756 miles per year—a figure that reflects either steady but not excessive use or periodic storage. The gaps between tests are irregular but not excessive; for instance, the 12-month interval between the February 2025 (133,411 miles) and January 2026 (139,829 miles) tests suggests the car was driven roughly 6,400 miles in that year, while the longer gap between October 2022 (94,418 miles) and February 2024 (121,086 miles) indicates a slower pace of around 13,300 miles over 16 months. There’s no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might strain components, nor are there extended periods of inactivity that could lead to seized bearings or degraded fluids. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components that, while not flagged, are critical for longevity. Pay particular attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and rubber bushes—since these wear gradually and may not always trigger MOT advisories until advanced stages. Check for any signs of binding or uneven wear in the braking system, even though the MOT history shows no issues; inspect brake discs, calipers, and pads for corrosion or excessive play. The exhaust system should also be examined for leaks or rust, particularly around the mounts and silencers, as these can degrade over time without immediate safety implications. Finally, verify fluid levels and condition—brake, coolant, and differential oils—since these are not part of the MOT test but are essential for preventing long-term damage.
