2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · HS53 EXZ

The Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at 69,016 miles with no defects recorded, yet that certificate expired on 30 June 2026 and the vehicle now lacks valid MOT cover as of 14 July 2026. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with every pass showing zero advisories. Two anomalous failures on 20 January 2025 at 67,428 miles and 11 January 2024 at 61,766 miles were followed within days by passes at virtually identical mileages and no defects logged, indicating administrative or documentation anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation remains low for a 22-year-old vehicle. The record shows 61,767 miles at the January 2024 pass, rising to 67,429 by January 2025 and 69,016 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles in the first interval and under 1,600 in the next, confirming light annual use near 3,100 miles per year overall. Sparse supplied entries reveal no rapid accumulation or prolonged gaps beyond the missing pre-2024 history, but the low figure suggests gentle commuting or periodic standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components the MOT omitted. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet a 2004 chassis demands scrutiny of structural integrity around sills and subframes. Rubber components perish with time irrespective of mileage; we advise checking for binding calipers and exhaust emissions during a cold start. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed wear promptly, though the unexplained fail-pass pairs warrant verifying the vehicle's paper trail before purchase.
