2007 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · ML07 ADU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 285,425 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable; the only failure occurred on 22 July 2022 at 223,748 miles, and no defects were recorded, indicating that the issue was isolated and not repeated in subsequent tests. Mileage accumulation has been aggressive, averaging about 15,000 miles per year over the car’s 19‑year life. The jump from the 2022 failure to the 2023 test added 20,497 miles in roughly four months, a rate that continues through the later intervals. The MOT record is otherwise clean, with no recurring fault codes or advisory items to suggest systemic deterioration. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven condition, and check tyre tread depth and alignment for uneven wear. Rust spots on the chassis, exhaust brackets and wheel arches are likely given the age and mileage, so a visual under‑body scan is essential. A road test for noises, pulls or vibrations will confirm whether the high mileage has affected drivetrain or chassis components before committing to purchase.
