2007 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · ML07 ADZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and commendable mechanical condition, confirmed by the most recent MOT test conducted on 2 July 2026 at 116,586 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the last three consecutive annual inspections indicates a diligent approach to preventative maintenance. This clean record suggests that the current owner has addressed mechanical requirements promptly, ensuring the car remains in a roadworthy state well beyond its expected service life. Annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year over the last four years. This steady usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The total recorded mileage of 116,586 over 19 years aligns with moderate, predictable urban or suburban use. The lack of erratic fluctuations in the odometer readings provides confidence that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme duty cycles or prolonged storage. The July 2023 test at 107,791 miles identified uneven wear on both rear tyres, which serves as the only recurring point of concern in the recent history. While this was resolved, a prospective buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes and trailing arm mounts for signs of play or degradation that may have contributed to the uneven contact patch. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical examination of the underside is necessary to check for surface corrosion on the subframes and fuel lines, as these areas often escape notice during standard MOT testing. Beyond these specific points, the powertrain appears to be performing reliably based on the lack of emissions-related failures. Focus your inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables may be reaching the end of their service life despite the clean MOT passes. Verify the operation of the handbrake mechanism, as the rear tyre wear noted in 2023 can sometimes mask issues with binding rear drum or disc assemblies. Overall, the history suggests a well-maintained example that has been kept in good order by its previous keepers.
