2009 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FV59 EBA

The 2026-06-18 test in 2025-04-10 was a PASSED MOT, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent entry indicates the vehicle has experienced a significant decline in mechanical condition. The MOT record shows two distinct failures: a failed test in 2025-04-10 and a passed test in 2024-04-11, suggesting the vehicle's mechanical state has deteriorated over the last two years. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the vehicle passed its MOT again in 2024, which implies that the owner has likely addressed the issues flagged in the 2025-04-10 test through routine servicing. The mileage context indicates that the vehicle has been maintained at approximately 7,642 miles per year, which is consistent with its age of roughly 17 years. This pace is typical for a used car of this age, but it raises questions about the consistency of maintenance. The gap between the most recent test and the first failure suggests that the owner may have been unable to perform preventative checks or that the vehicle has been driven less frequently since the 2025 test. While the vehicle has not been tested since 2025, the fact that it passed the MOT in 2024 implies that the owner has likely performed regular maintenance since then, though the specific nature of that maintenance is not detailed in the provided record. In terms of mechanical risks, the 2025-04-10 test revealed critical issues including corroded rear brake pipes, worn coil springs, fuel pipe corrosion, and structural damage to the front windscreen. The fact that the vehicle failed this test in 2025 and passed it again in 2024 suggests that the owner has been attempting to address these problems, but the underlying corrosion and wear are likely not fully resolved. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding brake components, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, and check the exhaust emissions for any signs of carbon buildup or exhaust system damage that could affect performance.
