2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LL66 DXP

The vehicle shows a stable but slightly declining maintenance trend as it approaches its most recent inspection. While the 2025-11-15 test resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged several advisories regarding consumable wear. The tester noted that both the nearside and offside front inner tyres are worn close to the legal limit at 3mm and that the front inner brake pads are wearing thin. These issues follow a pattern of minor electrical and consumable failures seen in previous years, suggesting the vehicle is currently due for routine maintenance rather than significant mechanical repair. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 4,075 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, low-mileage progression from 13,349 miles in November 2019 to 40,747 miles in November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related degradation. The absence of any major mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues in the MOT history supports the impression of a well-kept, low-use vehicle. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the immediate replacement of the front brake pads and tyres to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards. Although the 2025 advisories are limited to consumables, the history of headlamp failures in 2025 and 2024, along with position lamp issues in 2023, suggests that electrical components like bulbs and connectors should be checked for reliability. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the battery health and check for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
