2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MT02 AMY

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 77,666 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle currently meets all legal safety and environmental standards. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to early 2023, suggesting a well-maintained mechanical state. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,767 miles per year. The distance covered between the February 2023 test at 52,583 miles and the January 2024 test at 62,632 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles over the year. A brief failure on 5 January 2024 was resolved within four days, and the subsequent jump to 71,171 miles by January 2025 confirms the car has remained in active, regular use without long periods of standing. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is uncommon for a ten-year-old vehicle. The tester flagged no issues with brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bushes across multiple inspections. This lack of recurring faults suggests the previous owner adhered to a proactive maintenance schedule rather than reacting only to MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and inspect the condition of the battery and engine oil. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for timing belt or water pump intervals is advisable to ensure the long-term reliability of the drivetrain.
