2002 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP52 FHY

The 2002 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 85,403 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in November 2024 and November 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the supplied record. Recorded mileage sits at 85,403 against a 24-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,558 miles per year. The Yaris covered 6,158 miles between the November 2023 pass at 73,503 miles and the November 2024 pass at 79,661 miles, then 5,742 miles to the October 2025 test. This low annual use implies light running, though the two failed tests logged on 11 November 2023 at 73,421 miles and 21 November 2024 at 79,661 miles carry no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age. Standing periods implied by low mileage can accelerate underbody rust while tyres and brake hoses perish from lack of use. The clean advisory history means no recurring wear on coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake discs was flagged by testers. Verify the V5C and test station notes for the two zero-defect failures, as their cause is absent from the DVSA extract. Otherwise the Yaris reflects a lightly used, structurally unflagged example requiring only standard age-related checks before purchase.
