2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GV04 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 104,324 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred in March 2025, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in addressing faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over time, such as the 2,219 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 2,716 miles in the following year. This low-frequency usage typically implies less wear-and-tear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components or fluid-related issues if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related failure rather than mileage-related wear. Given the age, a buyer must check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as rust often develops in areas on older Toyotas. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or perished despite the low mileage. Because the record shows no recent advisories for brakes, the buyer should still check calipers for binding or corroded discs to ensure the low usage has not caused the braking system to seize.
