2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MK04 WZP

The vehicle presents a significant risk regarding roadworthiness due to a clear trend of worsening structural integrity. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 55,422 miles, this followed a catastrophic failure just ten days prior. The October 2025 failure identified significant structural corrosion across the nearside rear, offside rear, and offside front integral body structures. Although these areas were reportedly repaired to achieve the subsequent pass, the presence of deep corrosion in multiple structural points suggests the chassis is reaching the end of its viable service life. At 55,422 miles, this 22-year-old Toyota shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with the mechanical issues seen in the record, such as brake pitting and component corrosion. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 2,137 miles, yet it failed multiple tests. This suggests the car may have sat for long periods or been kept in a damp environment, leading to the accelerated oxidation of the suspension components and bodywork. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to verify the quality of the repairs made after the October 2025 failure. The history shows recurring corrosion across the subframe, suspension arms, and coil spring mountings. Specific attention should be paid to the offside front drive shaft boot, which was flagged as split, and the front hydraulic brake caliper. The most recent test also noted pitted front brake discs and a worn offside front tyre, indicating that despite the low mileage, basic consumable maintenance is been neglected.
