2007 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FH07 FNO

The Toyota Yaris shows a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT recorded on 28 January 2023 at 135,417 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The most recent test passed with no defects logged, though it followed a failed attempt on the same date with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated from 26 January 2022 when a failure at 132,035 miles preceded a pass at 132,037 miles. Such paired entries with zero defects suggest administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, and no worsening trend is evident in the data. The recorded mileage of 135,417 at the 2023 test sits against a 19-year lifespan, giving an average of roughly 7,127 miles per year which is typical for the age. Between the January 2022 and January 2023 tests the car covered only 3,380 miles, indicating light annual use in that period. The DVSA record is sparse, with just two years of entries and no advisories or defects listed on any pass, so the history offers limited insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person given the age and the unexplained fail-pass pairs. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be checked for age-related degradation, and the underside examined for structural rust around sills and subframes. The twin failures with no recorded defects imply the previous owner may have faced paperwork or presentation problems rather than skipped basic upkeep, but the absence of advisories across both passes means tyre tread, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions were within limits at test time. Given the clean defect record and modest mileage, the Yaris presents as a low-risk used purchase on paper, provided the in-person check confirms no latent corrosion or worn suspension components missed between tests. The repeated same-day fail then pass entries warrant a question to the seller about the reason, as the DVSA log alone does not explain them.
