2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · KU09 VDR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 56,591 miles recorded no defects, maintaining a stable trend established in previous annual inspections. This uninterrupted record suggests the vehicle has remained well-maintained and has avoided the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 3,329 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 51,564 miles and March 2026 at 56,591 miles, the car covered only 5,027 miles. This low annual usage indicates minimal exposure, which typically reduces wear on the engine drivetrain and braking components. While low mileage often preserves the mechanical integrity of the vehicle, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues that occur regardless of distance driven. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or failures regarding suspension or brake systems, a physical inspection should focus on age-related factors rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as long-term stationary vehicles can suffer from surface rust over time. Additionally, inspect the tyres for dry cracking and the suspension bushings, as low-mile vehicles often see rubber perish even when tread depth remains sufficient. Ensuring the brake calipers are not seized or pitted is also vital given the long periods of light use.
