2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MJ09 PSX

The 2009 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 166,013 miles. A failed test also appears on the same date with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an abandoned test immediately rectified before the successful pass. The absence of any recorded defects across the last three years demonstrates consistent mechanical upkeep. This pattern indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a reliable standard, with no recurring or worsening mechanical faults threatening its structural integrity or roadworthiness. Accumulating 166,013 miles over roughly seventeen years equates to an annual average of approximately 9,765 miles, a figure that sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for this model. The mileage progression reveals steady, incremental gains rather than erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the July 2022 test at 158,559 miles and the June 2024 test at 163,809 miles, the Yaris covered 5,250 miles over twenty-three months. The subsequent jump to 166,013 miles by May 2025 represents just 2,204 miles over eleven months, confirming a pattern of regular, moderate use without alarming gaps in the record. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The clean history implies diligent previous ownership, yet consumable wear is inevitable. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a 166,000-mile chassis. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the condition of the tyres, looking for uneven wear that could indicate misalignment or binding calipers. While the electronic data shows no structural rust advisories, a hands-on evaluation of the underbody and sills is prudent to confirm the long-term structural integrity of the vehicle before purchase.
