Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent MOT
When viewing this Yaris, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows that front brake discs have been noted as worn, pitted, or scored in multiple consecutive tests (2024, 2025, and 2026). You should also check if the front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages have been replaced recently, as these have appeared as recurring failures or advisories.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work carried out to address the offside front oil leak and the tyre wear noted in the March 2026 test. Given the history of headlamp lens defects (fading and reduced light output), ensure the lights are clear and provide adequate illumination for night driving. A full service history should be checked to see if the oil leak has been professionally diagnosed and repaired.
The 1296cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, though running costs will depend on the vehicle's maintenance state. As a 2007 model, it will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and a standard tax band for its era.
Maintenance costs may be slightly higher than average due to the frequent advisories for consumables like tyres, brake discs, and suspension components. Expect regular spending on minor repairs to keep the vehicle roadworthy. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,300, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
Specifically inspect the front braking setup; the MOT records show a persistent issue with pitted or scored brake discs. You should also look closely at the front suspension, specifically the arm pin/bushes and the anti-roll bar linkage, as these have been flagged in recent years.
Check for any signs of an active oil leak from the offside front area, following the advisory from the 2026 MOT. Additionally, examine the condition of the headlamp lenses for cloudiness or cracking, and inspect the rear coil springs for signs of corrosion, which was a recorded issue in 2024 and 2025.
This 2007 silver Toyota Yaris 1.3 petrol has covered 122,062 miles as of March 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding brake discs, suspension components, and headlamp clarity. Although it passed its latest test, the 2026 failure included multiple items such as oil leaks and tyre wear, indicating a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny.
The Toyota Yaris generally shows a 79.9% average MOT pass rate across the model aggregate, with common failures related to headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
