2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EY63 FFM

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-15, with no defects recorded at 28,061 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all five consecutive annual tests from 2021 to 2025 passed without issue, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. There are no recurring faults or advisories to suggest a deteriorating condition, which supports the claim that the car has been well cared for under low-mileage usage. The mileage progression shows a steady, gradual increase of approximately 470 to 500 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 13-year age and low total mileage. The 2025 test occurred just 820 miles after the 2024 test, and the 2024 test was only 820 miles after 2023 — a consistent, slow accumulation that suggests minimal daily use or extended periods of inactivity. There are no sudden jumps or gaps in the record, and no evidence of rapid wear or neglect. The low annual mileage is a positive indicator, though it also implies that certain components may have been idle for long periods, potentially affecting seals, fluids, or suspension bushings. A buyer should inspect the suspension components closely, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from stiffness or binding due to lack of use. Brake systems should be checked for corrosion or binding calipers, especially if the car has been stored for months at a time — even though no brake faults were recorded, the low usage may mask latent issues. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for early signs of rust, as moisture and infrequent driving can accelerate corrosion in areas not regularly exposed to road salt or heat. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as low mileage doesn’t guarantee tyre integrity if the car has been parked for long stretches. Overall, the record suggests a mechanically sound car, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of components that may have aged without being exercised.
