Our Verdict
This Toyota Yaris is a reasonable option for those seeking a small, economical petrol engine. While the mileage is high, the most recent MOT history shows no current defects.
When inspecting this 2004 Yaris, focus on the mechanical integrity of the 1299cc engine. Since the vehicle has covered over 128,000 miles, you should request evidence of any significant maintenance, such as timing belt changes or clutch replacements, although these cannot be confirmed via MOT records alone.
Negotiate based on the high mileage relative to the age of the car. Check the service history thoroughly to see if the high usage has been matched by regular oil changes and fluid top-ups. Ensure all electrical components and the air conditioning (if fitted) are functioning correctly.
The 1.3L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for new drivers or city commuters. Fuel economy for this era of Yaris is typically efficient for a petrol hatchback.
Maintenance costs for Toyotas of this vintage are often manageable, but you should budget for wear-and-tear items. Expect an annual running cost that reflects its age and high mileage, particularly regarding tyres and braking components.
Pay close attention to the underside of the car. Aggregate data for this model indicates that corrosion is a top reason for MOT failures. Check the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points for any signs of significant rust.
Additionally, inspect the anti-roll bars and tyres. These are common failure points for the Yaris model according to aggregate statistics. Given the recent MOT failure in May 2024 (even though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided), it is worth checking if any suspension or tyre work was carried out to rectify the issue.
Registered in July 2004, this blue 1.3L petrol Yaris has covered 128,028 miles as of its last test. The MOT history shows a failure in May 2024, though it passed shortly after with no defects recorded. Given the model's aggregate data, it has significantly higher mileage than the average annual figure of 5,647 miles for this type of vehicle.
The Toyota Yaris shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.0% across 470,111 analysed vehicles.
