Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage city car, t
The primary point for negotiation and inspection is the braking system; the offside front service brake has been noted as 'binding' in both the 2025 and 2026 MOT tests. You should verify if this has been rectified or if it requires a caliper replacement. Additionally, check the current state of the front tyres, as the July 2026 test recorded both as being close to the legal limit.
Equipped with a 1296cc petrol engine, this Yaris is designed for efficiency and low running costs. It typically falls into a lower insurance group and a modest tax band for its era, making it an economical choice for urban commuting.
Typical maintenance will involve standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Given the age of the vehicle, expect occasional expenditure on corrosion-related components, as seen in the MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the offside front brake to check for binding or fluctuation, as this has appeared in two consecutive tests. Examine the rear coil springs and front suspension arms for signs of corrosion, referencing the advisories and failure recorded between 2023 and 2024.
Check the condition of the front headlamp lenses, which were flagged as slightly defective in July 2026. Finally, ensure the tyres have sufficient tread, as the most recent MOT indicates they are nearing the legal limit.
This silver 2007 Toyota Yaris has covered 69,111 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. While it has a consistent recent MOT record, there are persistent advisories regarding brake binding and historical notes of suspension corrosion. It represents a low-mileage example of a model with a respectable 79.9% aggregate MOT pass rate.
The Yaris maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across over 470,000 analysed vehicles.
