2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LT11 KTP

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a consistent record of passes over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted on October 9, 2025, at 79,178 miles resulted in a pass but introduced a minor advisory for an oil leak. This represents the only recorded defect concern since 2021, suggesting that while the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age, the core mechanical components have remained sound throughout the previous inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered 18,798 miles, showing a steady and modest usage rate. The jump of 6,452 miles between the October 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with this long-term trend. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, due to dry rot rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the oil leak identified in the 2025 test to determine if it is a simple gasket weep or a more significant seal failure. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, it is essential to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these areas often suffer on cars that sit for long periods. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles of infrequent use.
