2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU59 AAV

The 2009 Toyota Yaris presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2025 at 72,561 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows an unusual pattern of same-day fail and pass outcomes at the 2024 and 2025 tests. These paired failures carried no listed defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No worsening condition emerges across the three years of records. Mileage stands at 72,561 against an age of seventeen years, equating to a low average of roughly 4,268 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 62,302 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 67,451 by July 2024 and 72,561 by July 2025. Annual accumulation sits near 5,000 miles, consistent and unremarkable. The clean advisory-free record across all entries suggests either light use or diligent pre-test preparation by previous keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unknown standing periods implied by low mileage. Long idle spells accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake components even when test records show clear. The repeated no-defect failures warrant a check of the VIN and test certificate authenticity at point of sale. No recurring mechanical faults or advisories appear in the official history to date. The absence of flagged wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, or steering parts indicates previous owners addressed consumables before testing. Physical verification of underside structural integrity remains prudent on any seventeen-year-old hatchback.
