2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FG59 LPZ

The 2009 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, evidenced by four consecutive MOT passes with zero defects. The most recent test on 29 November 2024 at 137,939 miles recorded no advisories or failures whatsoever, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that point. Such a clean, unbroken run of passes suggests a previous owner who addressed wear items proactively rather than waiting for components to fail. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,114 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan. Tracking the annual tests reveals a consistent usage pattern: the odometer moved from 112,463 miles in November 2021 to 121,661 miles in November 2022, then to 129,400 miles in November 2023, and finally to 137,939 miles in November 2024. This steady accumulation of approximately 8,000 to 8,500 miles annually points to regular, typical use rather than long periods of standing or excessively high mileage. The recorded mileage today remains exactly at the November 2024 figure, meaning the current MOT is now nearly two years old and a fresh test is due immediately. Despite the pristine MOT record, a buyer must inspect the typical wear areas for a 137,000-mile Yaris. The lack of recent advisories does not guarantee the current condition of consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres, which will naturally degrade over the two years since the last test. Suspension bushes and coil springs often deteriorate around this mileage, so a physical check for cracking or sagging is prudent. Structural integrity, particularly the sills, subframes, and floor pan, requires close examination for corrosion, as the MOT only captures a snapshot in time. A fresh MOT will be necessary to verify the current roadworthiness, given the expired certificate.
