2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · PE09 CFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 62,700 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just the previous day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative-related issue or a simple consumable failure that was promptly addressed. Since July 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 36,835 miles and July 2024 at 50,915 miles, the car covered 14,080 miles, indicating a slightly higher period of use compared to the subsequent 11,785 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. While this low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long intervals between driving can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and brake corrosion due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on items associated with low-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seizing, as infrequent use often allows surface rust to build up. Inspect the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, as materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the Yaris, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for hidden corrosion, although the MOT record does not indicate any previous advisories that might have been ignored.
