2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FY11 HLA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The May 2025 test at 84,344 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day at 84,333 miles, the lack of specific defect details suggests a minor clerical error or a trivial non-compliance that was rectified immediately. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion, suspension components, or braking systems across the last three years indicates a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,623 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 73,735 miles in January 2023 to 84,344 miles in May 2025. This pattern suggests the car has seen light, intermittent use rather than heavy commuting. The relatively low annual mileage reduces the expected wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to seized components due to infrequent operation. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of rubber components and fluids. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished timing belts, aged coolant hoses, or dried-out suspension bushings that do not show up on an MOT. You should check the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and fuel tank, as the MOT record is silent on structural integrity. Given the low usage, inspect the battery health and tyre sidewalls for cracking or age-related degradation. The current MOT history shows no recurring mechanical trends or worsening faults. The vehicle appears to be in a consistent state of roadworthiness based on the documented tests. Focus your attention on the service history to ensure oil changes were performed regularly, as the MOT record does not reflect the quality of engine lubrication.
