2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GP09 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 107,746 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp. While the car passed the inspection, the presence of advisories for thin front brake pads and worn discs suggests that consumable components are only being attended to once they reach the point of failure or limit. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,746 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,338 miles, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. The data shows a steady progression between annual tests, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 7,300 miles in the final year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the age of the rubber and plastic components remains a greater concern than high-frequency wear. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the suspension system, specifically the offside rear shock absorber which has been flagged for oil misting since the 2026 failure. Given the history of perished and uneven worn tyres noted in 2024 and 2025, a thorough check of the tyre sidewalls and alignment is necessary to ensure no further structural degradation. The front brake system also requires immediate attention as both the pads and discs are nearing the end of their functional life, necessitating a full set replacement to maintain safe stopping performance.
