2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LS57 GVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 09 June 2025 at 156,349 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While the vehicle failed a test in June 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain the vehicle's road status. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 22,815 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,600 miles annually during that interval. This consistent operation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular use, which is often beneficial for older engines and mechanical components like seals and gaskets, as it prevents the drying out and corrosion typically associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean results in the last two testing cycles, an in-person inspection should focus on common failure points for a Yaris of this age and mileage. The buyer must inspect the structural integrity for hidden corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as these are areas prone to rust on this generation. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil spring fatigue, and shock absorbers is necessary, as these components often show significant wear after 150,000 miles. Checking the brake calipers for binding and the disc thickness will also ensure the clean MOT record reflects the actual mechanical condition of the braking system.
