2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FD66 ADZ

This Toyota Yaris has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all five tests passing without defects or advisories since 2021. The most recent inspection on December 13, 2025, confirmed no issues at 37,307 miles, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been reliably serviced—or at least passed MOT checks—without major intervention. However, the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear; a thorough physical inspection remains essential. The mileage progression indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging just 3,731 miles over a decade. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health. Notably, there is a 14-month gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests, during which the vehicle accumulated only 5,382 miles. While this aligns with light usage, it also raises questions about whether critical maintenance—such as fluid changes or corrosion checks—was performed during this period. Given the lack of advisories, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension system, particularly the condition of rear wheel bearings and front/rear suspension bushes, which are prone to degradation in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been rarely driven. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as prolonged idling can accelerate rust formation. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be inspected, as prolonged inactivity often leads to corrosion or reduced capacity.
