2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GL59 BZD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 10 December 2024 at 145,076 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes suggests an exemplary approach to upkeep, as the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety-related issues before they could result in a formal MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between December 2020 and December 2024, the car covered 59,892 miles, showing steady usage of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles annually. This regular use is often preferable for older vehicles than long periods of standing, as it helps prevent seals from drying out, keeps brakes moving, and ensures that components like the exhaust system remain in active operating condition. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear on a Yaris of this age. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and the rear suspension mounting points, as these are common areas of fatigue in this generation. Given the mileage, check the rubber suspension bushes and shock absorber mounts for cracking or leaks, which do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach significant play. Additionally, verify the brake discs for excessive pitting or thinning to ensure the clean history of the record translates to immediate mechanical performance.
