2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · NK52 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 83,474 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just 21 miles earlier on the same day. This specific failure-pass sequence suggests a minor administrative oversight or a trivial component adjustment that was immediately rectified, as no technical defects were listed for the initial or subsequent tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady, incremental usage, moving from 70,130 miles in June 2022 to 83,474 miles in June 2025. This gap of roughly 13,000 miles over three years indicates the car has been used for short-distance trips or kept for extended periods, which typically reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low mileage on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity due to infrequent operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber-based components that the MOT does not fully exhaust. Low-mileage older Toyotas are prone to surface corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans, which can accelerate despite low mechanical use. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as these parts dry out due to age rather than distance. Given the infrequent use pattern, check the brake calipers for signs of seizing or uneven wear, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for long intervals.
