2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP59 ACU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-14 at 139,536 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The prior test on 2025-10-13, just one day earlier, failed but also listed no defects, suggesting an anomaly or procedural issue. Subsequent tests from 2024-10-15 to 2023-10-24 show consistent passes with no recorded faults, reinforcing that the car has maintained compliance. The lack of defects in recent tests implies no immediate mechanical risks, though the abrupt failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 139,536 miles over 17 years aligns with an average of 8,208 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The 2024-10-15 test at 126,652 miles showed a 12,884-mile increase from the 2023-10-24 test, consistent with annual usage. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, suggesting steady operation. The absence of high-mileage wear indicators in MOT records implies the previous owner managed the vehicle’s maintenance adequately, though age-related components remain a concern. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over 17 years. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, despite no recorded issues. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, given the vehicle’s age, and should be assessed for leaks or rust. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody, warrants close examination, as it can compromise safety. While MOT data shows no active faults, the car’s maturity necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued roadworthiness.
