Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current status. The most recent test on January 10, 2026, at 33,395 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in late December 2024, the immediate re-test success that same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly, preventing a trend of escalating mechanical or neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,340 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but sparse usage pattern, with the car covering roughly 4,000 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 5,900 miles in the following eleven months. This low-frequency use typically implies less internal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of standing between tests can sometimes lead to issues not captured by mileage, such as perished rubber components or seizing of brake calipers due to lack of motion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage operation. Although the record shows no structural advisories for corrosion, the inspector should check the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, which occurs with age regardless of distance travelled. The brake discs should be examined for pitting or rust, a common trait in vehicles that sit stationary. Given the single failure recorded in December 2024, verifying the specific nature of that repair would be prudent to ensure no recurring component issue remains.

Our Verdict

This 2016 Toyota Yaris is a remarkably low-mileage find with a reassuringly straightforward MOT history. It represents an excellent, dependable supermini choice for everyday urban or suburban driving.

When inspecting this Yaris, check the service history to ensure the low mileage has been supported by regular annual oil changes rather than just infrequent MOT visits. Pay close attention to the front brakes and tyres, which have appeared as advisories in previous tests (specifically noted in late 2024 and early 2025 tests), and verify whether the front brake discs, pads, and tyres have recently been replaced. Additionally, check that the rear bumper—noted as slightly insecure in the December 2024 test—is securely fitted and free from loose fixings.

Equipped with the 1.33-litre petrol engine, this Yaris offers sensible everyday economy for fuel-conscious motorists, typically achieving strong figures on both city commutes and longer runs. It falls into a reasonable insurance group and benefits from predictable road tax brackets for petrol superminis of this era. Routine maintenance should be inexpensive due to the model's widespread popularity and straightforward mechanical design, keeping annual running costs very manageable.

Inspect the front braking components closely; the December 2024 and January 2024 MOT tests highlighted that the front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and the pads were wearing thin. Examine the front tyre shoulders for uneven wear, as nearside and offside tyres have repeatedly drawn edge-wear advisories in past tests. Finally, check the rear bumper mounting points following the December 2024 advisory to ensure no hidden clip damage or misalignments remain.

First registered in January 2016, this silver Toyota Yaris features a 1.33-litre petrol engine and has covered just 33,395 miles as of January 2026. Its MOT history shows consistent care, featuring only one recorded failure for simple blown headlight bulbs that were promptly rectified on the same day in December 2024. The vehicle has sailed through the vast majority of its annual tests with minor advisories relating mostly to consumable items like tyres and brakes.

The Toyota Yaris enjoys an exceptional reputation for bulletproof mechanical reliability and longevity in the UK market.
