2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MD07 NWW

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-22 resulted in a failure despite the vehicle having 120,003 miles. Key issues included corroded brake pipes, rusted rear wheel arches, thin front brake pads, and a windscreen washer providing insufficient liquid. These defects indicate ongoing corrosion and wear, with the brake system and bodywork showing significant degradation. The same date also shows a pass entry, but the failure record is the most critical outcome, highlighting unresolved safety risks. A recurring pattern of corrosion and brake-related issues is evident across multiple MOTs. Brake pipes have been corroded since at least 2024, while rust on wheel arches and body structure has persisted. Suspension components also show repeated problems: a fractured coil spring (2024), a split CV boot (2024), and worn ball joints (2024). These suggest systemic exposure to harsh conditions or inadequate maintenance, with no clear improvement over time. The trend of defects appears worsening , particularly in 2024 when multiple critical failures occurred, including a fractured coil spring and a defective headlamp. While 2025’s issues were less severe, the persistence of corrosion and brake wear indicates ongoing deterioration.
