2010 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FP60 DVA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed on 23 June 2025 at 82,514 miles with no advisories or defects recorded. The most recent test represents a clean outcome, and the immediate maintenance trend appears stable, as the 2024 retest on the same date also returned a pass with no defects after an administrative or data-entry failure was logged earlier that day. Across the five recorded tests spanning December 2022 to June 2025, the only flagged issue is the 2024 failure event, and because no defect categories were attached, no mechanical concern is documented. The history is notably sparse in advisory information, which limits direct evidence of wear patterns but also means no recurring component failures have been raised by examiners during this period. Annual mileage of roughly 5,157 miles is low for a 16-year-old vehicle, suggesting either light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The recorded tests show mileage progression across 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, though exact odometer readings are not provided for each entry, making it difficult to confirm whether the car accumulated mileage steadily or sat idle between tests. Low-mileage vehicles of this age are at greater risk of issues such as dried seals, perished rubber components, and corroded brake calipers, even when MOT results appear clean. The current test is the most recent entry and sits just over a year before today, meaning the next MOT is due by 23 June 2026 unless the vehicle is exempt, which should be verified before purchase. Given the absence of flagged suspension components, brake defects, corrosion concerns, or exhaust advisories in the available record, a buyer cannot rely solely on the MOT history to assess underlying condition. A physical inspection should focus on the rear brake calipers for binding due to infrequent use, the condition of coil springs and suspension bushes for perishing or corrosion, and the exhaust system for internal rust given the vehicle's age. Tyre condition, including tread depth and sidewall cracking, should also be checked directly, as MOT records do not confirm tyre age. Structural areas around wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounting points warrant close examination for surface or penetrating corrosion that may not have been severe enough to fail at the last test but could progress before the next examination.
