2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GY66 APX

This 2016 Toyota Yaris presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, with every annual test passed without a single defect or advisory. The most recent examination in November 2025 at 55,013 miles returned a perfect result, confirming the vehicle’s roadworthiness is stable and well-maintained. The absence of any flagged issues across five consecutive tests indicates a consistent standard of care. The mileage pattern shows an average of roughly 5,500 miles per year, which is low for a ten-year-old car. However, the annual accumulation is uneven: between October 2022 and November 2023 the car covered nearly 13,000 miles, suggesting a period of heavier use or a long single journey. After that, annual mileage dropped sharply to around 2,000–3,000 miles, which may indicate a change in ownership pattern or reduced usage. The overall low total is favourable for wear on the engine and drivetrain, but periods of standing can affect tyres, brakes, and battery condition. Given the faultless MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than known recurring faults. Check for corrosion on suspension components, brake pipes, and the underbody, as these often develop on cars of this age regardless of mileage. Examine the condition of tyres for cracking or flat-spotting, and test the brakes for binding or uneven wear, especially if the car stood unused for long stretches. The lack of any advisories is a strong positive, but a thorough visual check remains prudent.
