2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LT57 KTC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a clear improving trend in maintenance consistency. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 82,943 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, marking a significant improvement over previous years where the car failed to meet standards. This transition from repeated failures to a clean test sheet suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed underlying mechanical or structural issues that were preventing compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,365 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between tests, such as the 1,980 miles driven between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 2,006 miles leading up to the December 2025 test. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus specifically on the areas that caused the failures in December 2023 and November 2024, although the record does not specify the exact nature of those faults. Given the age of the vehicle, these failures likely related to structural corrosion on the chassis or perished suspension components like bushes and coil springs. A physical inspection of the underbody for deep surface rust and a check of the brake lines and hydraulic fluid are essential to ensure that the low-use pattern has not resulted in seized calipers or internal corrosion during long periods of inactivity.
