2002 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GY02 XAT

The 2002 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 96,881 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry from 2022 through 2025, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 96,881 against an age of roughly 24 years, equating to about 4,037 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low annual use: 78,804 miles on 9 June 2022, rising to 84,305 by 22 June 2023, 90,326 by 20 June 2024, and 96,881 by 24 June 2025. The sparse but consistent record reveals no gaps or sudden accumulation, and the clean sheets across all tests suggest the prior keeper maintained basic statutory compliance without deferred testing. On 9 June 2022 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage of 78,804, with the record listing no defects for either outcome. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and no recurring suspension, brake, exhaust, or corrosion issues surface anywhere in the sequence. The absence of advisories means wear items such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were within limits at each test but drew no forward attention from testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age, despite no MOT flags. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related degradation invisible to a pass result, and verify the timing chain and coolant system given long standing periods implied by low yearly mileage. The clean history supports a sound purchase assumption, but 24-year-old components warrant hands-on verification beyond the DVSA record.
