2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FH02 YYJ

The 2002 Toyota Yaris presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, passing without defect on 11 November 2023 at 171,715 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged in any test. The only anomaly is an administrative fail on the same date with no defects recorded, suggesting a data entry or processing error rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage progression stays consistent with typical use for a 24-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 152,178 miles at the 30 October 2021 pass to 155,803 miles at the 7 October 2022 fail, then 155,834 miles at the pass one day later, and finally 171,715 miles by November 2023. Annual accumulation averages near 7,155 miles, with no rapid jumps or standing gaps that would hint at drivetrain stress or prolonged corrosion from disuse. The clean record across five years shows no recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes given the age and salt-exposure risk on a two-decade-old chassis. The MOT history flags no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emission breaches, yet DVSA tests at this mileage can miss early subframe corrosion hidden behind trims. Verify brake disc thickness and check for perished rubber mounts that a visual test may clear prematurely. Given the absent advisories and stable pass pattern, previous ownership likely kept basic upkeep current without deferred maintenance. The paired fail-pass entries in October 2022 and November 2023 with zero defects imply clerical mismatch rather than skipped repairs. Treat the car as mechanically sound on paper, but confirm underneath condition before purchase.
