2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU59 HXF

The Toyota Yaris is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑30 at 116,733 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s age‑related wear has not escalated, and the absence of new advisories in the latest test indicates that previous owners have kept basic servicing up to date. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 6,800 miles per year over the past 17 years, a typical figure for a 2009 model. MOT entries are spaced annually, with the 2023 test highlighting front‑tyre wear close to the legal limit, while the 2020 failure concerning the offside front anti‑roll bar linkage ball‑joint dust cover was subsequently rectified. No rapid mileage spikes or extended gaps appear in the record. A buyer should inspect the braking system for disc wear and pitting, given the 2013 advisory on both front discs. Suspension components, especially the anti‑roll bar linkage and associated bushes, merit close examination for looseness or corrosion. Tyre condition remains a priority: check tread depth on the front tyres and look for sidewall damage or perishing on the rear tyres noted in 2014 and 2019. Verify the presence of the rear exhaust heatshield and assess the wiper blade for splits, as recorded in 2014 and 2019. The windscreen damage from 2013 should be examined for any structural compromise. Structural integrity appears sound, but the vehicle’s age warrants a thorough check for rust around wheel arches, underbody panels, and any areas where the exhaust heatshield was missing. A visual scan for corrosion on suspension mounts and chassis points will help confirm whether the car has been stored in a dry environment or exposed to harsh conditions.
