Our Verdict
This is a sensible, low-risk purchase for a budget runabout thanks to five consecutive clean MOT passes. The only real caution is the vehicle's age and the lack of model aggregate reliability data to benchmark against.
With five consecutive MOT passes and no defects listed, this Yaris appears well maintained, but you should still ask for full service history to confirm routine oil changes and timing chain or belt checks have been done across its life. Given the 2002 registration, budget for age-related items such as perishing rubber, worn suspension bushes, and corroding brake pipes that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory.
The 1299cc petrol engine in this Yaris is known for modest fuel use, and a car of this size and age will typically sit in a low road tax band, likely under £200 per year. Insurance groups for early Yaris models are generally low, so cover should be inexpensive for most drivers.
The MOT history shows no failures and no recorded defects across the last five tests, so there are no specific failure types from the record to investigate. However, you should still inspect the silver bodywork for rust around wheel arches and sills, check the 1.3-litre engine for oil leaks, and verify the condition of tyres, brakes, and suspension given the car's 2002 build date.
LT02PVW is a July 2002 silver Toyota Yaris with a 1.3-litre petrol engine that has covered just 61,884 miles in nearly 24 years. Its MOT history from 2020 to 2024 shows five straight passes with no defects recorded at each test. Without aggregate model data we cannot compare reliability statistically, but the individual history is reassuringly clean for a car of this age.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota Yaris to assess model-wide reliability from this dataset.
