2001 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FN51 VWR

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 10 February 2025 at 78,544 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass issued on that date. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 27 January 2023 through to February 2025 returning no defects recorded. A peculiar administrative pattern appears in the 2024 and 2025 entries, where a failure and a pass were logged on the same day at identical mileages; no defects were cited either time, which points to clerical or process anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. At 25 years old the car shows 78,544 recorded miles, an average of roughly 3,142 miles per year. The odometer moved from 73,194 miles at the January 2023 test to 76,807 miles in February 2024, then to 78,544 miles by February 2025. That is low annual use with no abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of hard driving, though standing time between short trips can age rubber components and encourage corrosion unseen in the test data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. The MOT history flags no advisories on structural integrity or exhaust emissions, yet a 2001 chassis may carry hidden rust in sills or subframes that a garage ramp will expose. Verify the twin failure-pass entries with the test centre to confirm no omitted defects. Check tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for perishing from inactivity. The recorded care implies a lightly used car with basic annual compliance, not neglected, but the same-day fail-pass logs warrant documentary confirmation before purchase.
