2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · OY09 WLX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 89,348 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the successful retest. Since September 2022, the car has cleared its annual inspections without any recurring mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,256 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 10,829 miles, indicating a steady and light-use pattern. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, the long intervals between tests or potential periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry, which are not captured by the odometer alone. Given the clean MOT history and the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for surface rust or structural corrosion, which is common in older Japanese Toyotas regardless of distance driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or per, as these materials perish over time. Additionally, check the brake discs for signs of pitting if the vehicle has sat for extended periods.
