2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP09 PHX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous mechanical failures. The most recent test in October 2025 at 88,593 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in prior years were addressed. This clean result is a significant contrast to the 2024 failure, suggesting the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are flagged. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally low usage for a vehicle from 2009, averaging approximately 5,211 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between November 2023 and October 2024, where the car covered 12,509 miles in under a year, compared to much lower intervals previously. While the low total mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long gaps between tests can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading or brakes seizing, which should be verified upon physical inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system, specifically the offside front coil spring which fractured in October 2024. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the buyer should check for signs of premature wear or corrosion on the remaining springs and shock absorbers. The 2023 failure regarding an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure the engine management system is not currently hiding fault codes, as a faulty light can mask underlying emissions or sensor issues.
