2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FG58 UOY

The 2009 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT test on 3 November 2025 at 126,025 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle meets all required safety and environmental standards. The maintenance trend remains stable, showing no recurring mechanical failures or structural deterioration over the recorded period. Although a test on 31 October 2024 at 124,580 miles was recorded as a failure with no specific defects listed, the immediate retest on the same day passed cleanly, suggesting a minor or administrative issue was swiftly rectified. A clean pass at the latest test suggests the previous owner has kept the car in a well-maintained state, with no outstanding advisories to monitor. The recorded mileage of 126,025 miles over approximately 17 years equates to an annual average of roughly 7,413 miles, a figure well within typical parameters for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent, gradual accumulation: 121,824 miles in October 2023, 124,580 miles in October 2024, and 126,025 miles in November 2025. This translates to an average of around 2,000 to 2,700 miles per year over the last two years, reflecting light, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive long-distance driving. The data lacks any significant gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a 17-year-old vehicle. While no recurring mechanical faults appear in the history, the age of the car warrants a close examination of structural integrity. Buyers should inspect the underside and sills for corrosion, a common issue for vehicles of this era, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake line routes. The suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, require scrutiny for age-related deterioration rather than mileage wear. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on standing components. Tyre condition and manufacturing date codes deserve attention, as older rubber can perish regardless of tread depth. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion, especially around welds and mounting points.
