2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · NL65 CDZ

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, as evidenced by the failure to pass the MOT on 2025-01-28. This last test occurred at 82,827 miles, indicating that the car has not yet reached its full service life and that the mechanical condition is approaching critical levels. The most recent test was passed on 2025-09-01, which is only 19 days ago, placing the vehicle at a significant risk of imminent failure. The gap between the September 2025 test and the January 2025 failure suggests a lack of regular servicing, likely due to the owner's inability to maintain the vehicle properly. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct accumulation of wear that accelerates with age. The car has been tested at 82,842 miles in September 2025, and then failed on the same date at 82,827 miles, a decrease of 15 miles. This rapid mileage drop indicates that the car has not been maintained for a full 11 years, as the MOTs were recorded at 74,062 and 63,706 miles in September 2023 and September 2022 respectively. The fact that the vehicle failed the test in January 2025 while only 15 miles over the 2023 test suggests that the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension has degraded significantly since the last successful inspection. Given the recurring faults and the rapid mileage loss, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific structural or mechanical risks. The most likely issues include binding rear brakes, worn suspension components, or corrosion on exhaust components. A professional inspection is required to determine if these problems are minor consumables that could be addressed and resolved, or if they represent serious structural risks that require immediate repair.
