2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP16 YDN

The 2016 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 71,731 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,173 miles, typical for a ten-year-old car. The records trace a steady climb: 38,984 miles on the failed 4 May 2022 test, 39,182 miles six days later on the pass, then 49,929 miles in April 2023, 64,683 miles in May 2024, and 71,731 miles in April 2025. The only anomaly is the May 2022 failure at 38,984 miles, which the DVSA log lists with no defects recorded. That suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect the owner neglected to fix. The clean pass sheet across four consecutive years implies the previous keepers kept on top of consumables and structural items. No tester flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions breaches. A car that passes with zero advisories year after year usually reflects basic but consistent upkeep rather than deferred work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Confirm there is no hidden corrosion around sills and suspension mounts that a visual MOT check might miss on a brief ramp. Verify brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition despite the absence of advisories. The 2022 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the DVSA portal for the original refusal reason, as the record as supplied gives no mechanical explanation for the reject.
