Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The MOT history for this 2009 Toyota Yaris shows a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and braking components. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 29 December 2025, the tester flagged an advisory for the offside front service brake binding. This follows a pattern of mechanical advisories, including tyre perishing noted in December 2024 and brake pipe corrosion identified in January 2023. The vehicle has covered 106,951 miles over its 17-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,291 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage does not show evidence of sudden, heavy accumulation between tests, but the frequency of advisories suggests that age-related degradation is progressing. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and sub-frames. The record shows persistent issues with structural integrity, specifically noting front and rear sub-frame corrosion in January 2024 and general structural corrosion in January 2023. Although these were recorded as not seriously weakened at the time, the presence of corroded rear coil springs on the nearside and offside in the December 2025 test indicates that oxidation is affecting suspension components. The braking system requires close scrutiny. The December 2025 advisory regarding a binding offside front brake, combined with the January 2023 advisory for a corroded nearside rear brake pipe, suggests potential issues with caliper movement or hydraulic lines. Inspection of the tyres is also necessary to check for the cracking and perishing previously flagged by testers. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.

Our Verdict

A sensible choice for a budget diesel ha

When reviewing this vehicle, focus on the service history to confirm regular oil changes for the 1.36L diesel engine. Check for any evidence of clutch wear or gear synchroniser issues, which can occur in diesel hatchbacks of this vintage. Ensure that the owner can provide documentation for any work carried out to resolve the MOT failure recorded in January 2024.

The 1.36L diesel engine is designed for high fuel economy, making it an economical choice for those with longer commutes. Insurance for the Yaris is typically affordable, and the vehicle falls into a modest tax bracket, though buyers should verify the specific emissions rating for this diesel variant.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, provided the vehicle has been serviced. The estimated annual running cost accounts for fuel, road tax, insurance, and basic annual maintenance.

Pay close attention to the underbody and chassis for signs of corrosion, as this is a primary failure reason for this model across aggregate data. Inspect the anti-roll bar and the condition of all tyres, as these are also listed as top failure reasons for the Yaris.

While the MOT test on 2025-12-29 recorded no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension components is recommended given the vehicle's age and total mileage of 106,951.

This grey 2009 Toyota Yaris diesel has recorded 106,951 miles. Its MOT history between 2023 and 2025 shows a consistent record, including two consecutive passes with no defects recorded in December 2024 and December 2025. It represents a functional example of this fuel-efficient model with mileage that is only slightly above the model average.

The Yaris maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 80.0% across over 470,000 analysed vehicles.
