2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MT58 FPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 106,372 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern, as the owner successfully addressed multiple failures identified in the previous test. While the November 2025 test failed due to lighting issues, an ABS fault, and a damaged track rod end dust cover, the subsequent pass seven days later indicates that these specific mechanical and electrical defects were rectified promptly. The mileage profile is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,257 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the May 2024 test at 88,015 miles and the November 2025 test at 106,372 miles, representing over 18,000 miles driven in eighteen months. This recent spike in usage compared to the historical average explains the accelerated wear seen on rubberized components, such as the track rod end dust cover noted in the late 2025 failure. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the ABS system, as the warning lamp triggered a failure in both May 2023 and November 2025. Although the car passed recently, the recurring nature of this fault suggests a persistent sensor or wiring issue that requires monitoring. Additionally, inspect the front suspension ball joints and boots for signs of further degradation, as the previous failure of the track rod end cover indicates that the rubber components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to age and mileage.
