2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GY54 OSM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on January 16, 2026 at 73,165 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one week prior at 73,135 miles. This brief failure suggests a minor mechanical adjustment or a consumable-related issue that was immediately rectified, as the subsequent re-test showed a clean sheet without any advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,326 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2025, the car covered only 3,335 miles, moving from 66,912 to 70,247 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. The data shows a consistent annual usage pattern, indicating the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage, older vehicles. Despite the lack of recorded faults, the age of the car makes it susceptible to structural corrosion on the underbody, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished and check the brake calipers for pitting or piston seizing due to infrequent use. Given the clean MOT history, the primary risks are not mechanical failure from distance but rather the age-related degradation of seals and hoses.
