2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · NJ20 KZF

The 2020 Toyota Yaris presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history, with zero advisories or failures recorded at any test. The most recent examination on 6 March 2026 at 23,709 miles passed with no defects whatsoever, confirming that all safety-critical systems — brakes, steering, suspension, lights, and emissions — met DVSA standards at that point. The trend is unambiguously stable and improving in the sense that the vehicle has never once attracted a defect across four consecutive annual tests, suggesting consistent upkeep and a lack of developing mechanical faults. The mileage profile tells a clear story of light, steady use. Covering just 23,709 miles over roughly six years equates to approximately 3,952 miles per annum, well below the UK annual average of around 7,000 miles. The incremental gains between tests reinforce this: 3,509 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, 3,507 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, and 5,421 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. That slightly larger jump in the final interval may reflect a change in usage pattern or a longer-than-usual gap before the most recent test, but nothing suggests neglect or excessive wear. The record is clean, with no gaps or anomalies in test frequency. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, or deteriorated rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals even when MOT thresholds are comfortably met. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the brake discs for surface corrosion, particularly if the car has been garaged or infrequently driven. Inspect the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion, paying attention to suspension mounting points and subframe areas, as even well-maintained cars can develop localised rust depending on climate and road conditions. A short test drive will reveal whether the clutch, gearbox, and engine respond smoothly under load, and whether the steering tracks straight without any play or uneven braking pull that a static MOT inspection might not fully expose.
