2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FN13 LNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test in February 2026 at 32,056 miles resulted in a failure due to minor items including a blown bulb, lack of washer fluid, and worn front tyres. While the car passed immediately after these rectifications, the trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual tests. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 32,056 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. This low usage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it introduces specific risks related to rubber components and age. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,463 miles. This low frequency of use likely contributed to the perishing and cracking noted on the rear tyres during the the February 2025 test. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system, as the record shows a clear history of neglect. The 2024 test flagged thin pads, and the 2025 test found a front brake lining at the 1.5mm limit alongside worn discs. Given the low mileage, these components may suffer from surface corrosion or seizing from lack of use. The buyer should also check the sidewalls of all tyres for dry cracking, as the 2025 advisory indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite potentially having tread depth.
