2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FL59 UPH

This Toyota Yaris presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 86,912 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates dating back to September 2023, indicating a vehicle that meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,112 miles per year. Between 23 September 2023 and 16 September 2024, the vehicle covered 893 miles. The distance increased slightly to 4,685 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low annual usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which can sometimes mask issues that only emerge under sustained motorway loads. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a seventeen year old vehicle. While the record is clean, a buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished seals or seized brake calipers due to inactivity rather than wear. A physical inspection should verify the health of the tyres and brake discs for surface rust or flat spots. Since the MOT history shows no flagged defects, the primary risk is the degradation of consumables that have aged rather than worn. Checking the fluid levels and looking for signs of oil leaks will confirm if the low mileage reflects a regime of careful preservation or simple neglect.
