2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FT09 BWE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 November 2025 at 152,056 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a high level of mechanical and structural compliance as of that date. Following a single failure in late 2023, the car has maintained a clean record through two consecutive tests, suggesting the current owner is proactive in addressing potential issues before they result in failures. At 17 years old, the recorded 152,056 miles average to approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for an older hatchback. The data shows steady and consistent accumulation, as evidenced by the 13,100 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 13,266 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. This regular usage helps mitigate the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake systems. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and underbody. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, checking for corrosion on the exhaust system and rear wish arm bushes is essential, as these are common points of wear on this Yaris generation. The failure in November 2023 was resolved quickly, but the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure no uneven wear or binding is developing despite the clean MOT pass.
