2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU11 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-11 at 46,171 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a fail entry with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential data error, though the latest valid result indicates the car met roadworthiness standards at that mileage. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, and the absence of defects in the 2025 and 2024 tests implies a stable maintenance trend. However, the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits the ability to confirm long-term reliability. The car’s mileage of 46,171 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 3,078 miles annually, which is low for its age. This suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation from lack of movement, such as seized suspension bushes or corroded brake calipers. A notable jump from 38,148 miles in 2025 to 46,171 miles in 2026—8,023 miles in one year—may indicate a sudden increase in usage, potentially accelerating wear on tyres, brakes, and drivetrain components. The sparse MOT history, with no advisories or failures beyond the conflicting 2026 entry, offers limited insight into underlying issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the conflicting test results and mileage fluctuations warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical condition.
