2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · HV13 PLU

The roadworthiness status of this Toyota Yaris is exceptionally strong, backed by a maintenance trend that shows consistent improvement and fault-free compliance in recent years. In the most recent test conducted on 2025-11-14 at 68,059 miles, the vehicle passed with zero advisories or defects recorded. This clean pass mirrors the preceding three annual inspections held on 2022-08-05 at 51,213 miles, 2023-07-18 at 59,182 miles, and the 2021 test at 44,577 miles, all of which also registered zero defects. The sole blemish in the recorded history occurred during a test on 2021-07-28 at 44,566 miles which resulted in a failure, though no specific defects were logged, and the issue was successfully rectified the following day resulting in a pass. The vehicle has accumulated 68,059 miles across its thirteen years on the road, averaging roughly 5,235 miles annually. This low mileage profile reflects light urban or suburban use rather than heavy fleet or motorway deployment. The testing cadence reveals a minor scheduling shift from late-summer appointments in July and August toward a November testing slot established in late 2025. Mileage accumulation remains steady and predictable between tests, averaging about 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year during the peak usage phases between 2021 and 2025, indicating the car has been driven regularly enough to prevent the common ailments associated with prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable friction components and underbody corrosion rather than systemic mechanical neglect, given the remarkably clean advisory history. While the MOT certificates show no recurring faults with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the low annual mileage means rubber components like tyres and wiper blades require careful scrutiny for age-related perishing. Check the brake calipers for smooth operation and ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline, as low-mileage vehicles driven short distances can occasionally develop binding brakes or underutilised exhaust systems prone to internal moisture accumulation.
