2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU59 AEB

The 2009 Toyota Yaris demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-15 MOT at 109,639 miles. Previous tests from 2024-09-18 (101,328 miles) and 2023-09-20 (91,764 miles) also showed no issues, despite a failed entry on the same date as a pass. This suggests either a data inconsistency or a minor technical error, but the absence of recorded defects over 12 months indicates consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to be functioning within acceptable parameters, with no signs of escalating faults. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 6,449 miles annually. However, the 8,311-mile increase between 2024-09-18 (101,328 miles) and 2025-09-15 (109,639 miles) reflects a higher-than-average annual rate, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, confirming regular compliance, though the 2024-09-18 failed test with no defects recorded raises questions about procedural accuracy. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension, focusing on worn coil springs or bushings, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, as these are common issues in high-mileage vehicles. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody should also be assessed, particularly given the increased mileage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and usage pattern warrant scrutiny of its structural integrity and drivetrain components to confirm continued reliability.
