Our Verdict
This 2013 Toyota Yaris has passed every
Although the Yaris carries a clean pass record, the MOT history reveals a pattern of corrosion issues that should not be dismissed. The brake pipe advisory has appeared at every test from 2023 onwards, and coil spring corrosion was flagged in both 2023 and 2024. A thorough inspection underneath the car is essential, ideally with the vehicle on a ramp, to gauge how far the corrosion has progressed beyond what was visible to the MOT tester. When negotiating, use the brake disc wear and the body corrosion advisory from 2024 as clear leverage, as brake disc replacement and any welding or underbody treatment will be coming due.
Check that all advisory items from the 2025 test have been addressed, particularly the parking brake adjustment which 'only just met' requirements. Tyres have been flagged repeatedly for perishing or cracking, suggesting the car may have stood for periods or that budget tyres have been fitted — ask for evidence of recent tyre replacements. There is no service history information in the data provided, so request any available paperwork and verify the cam belt interval has been observed, as the 1.33 petrol engine is chain-driven but water pump and ancillary drive components still warrant checking at this age.
The 1.33-litre petrol Yaris is a frugal performer, with official economy figures of around 55 mpg combined making it cheap to fuel for a supermini of this age. Road tax sits in a low band given the post-2001 1.33-litre petrol engine and CO2 figure, though exact VED rates should be confirmed against current DVLA tables. Insurance falls into a low group, typically group 5 or 6 for this generation of Yaris, keeping premiums affordable for most drivers.
Maintenance is generally modest, but parts such as front brake discs and rear tyres flagged in recent MOTs will need attention soon, likely £200-£300 for discs and pads fitted. Corrosion-related advisories on brake pipes and springs could escalate quickly if left untreated, so budgeting £400-£600 for remedial brake and underbody work over the next 12 months is prudent. Overall annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, are likely to fall in the £1,400-£1,800 range for a car of this age and mileage.
Begin with a close look at all brake components, as the front discs have been flagged as pitted or scored at the last three MOTs, and the brake pipes have been noted as corroded at every test since 2023. Lift the car if possible to inspect the underside thoroughly, paying particular attention to the body structure which was noted as corroded under the vehicle in October 2024 without significant reduction in structural rigidity at that point. Tap the brake pipes and coil springs to test for surface corrosion versus deeper rot.
Examine the inner wheel arches, which were reported in poor condition at both the 2024 and 2025 tests — these areas are notorious for hiding rust on older superminis. Inspect the rear fog lamp mounting and the offside registration plate lamp, both of which have been flagged repeatedly as defective or insecure, to confirm they have been rectified. Finally, check all tyres for age, cracking and uneven wear, as nearside and offside tyres have been noted as damaged or perishing at multiple tests, and the offside front was worn close to the legal limit in 2024.
A white 1.33-litre petrol Toyota Yaris first registered in April 2013, this car has covered 63,045 miles across five recorded MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. Mileage averages around 3,500 miles per year over the period shown, well below the model average of 5,614. Recent tests carry multiple advisories focused on corroded brake pipes, corroded coil springs, and worn front brake discs, with body corrosion noted under the vehicle in 2024.
The Toyota Yaris enjoys a strong reliability reputation, with a 79.9% MOT pass rate across nearly half a million analysed vehicles — comfortably above average for the supermini class.
