2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · PJ09 EFW

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 72,120 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, maintaining a streak of perfect passes back through 2025, 2024, and 2023. This suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or safety hazards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,242 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2026, the car covered only 2,019 miles, indicating very light annual use. While this low mileage typically reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on braking surfaces. The failure in May 2023 at 68,964 miles was rectified immediately as the subsequent retest passed, showing the owner is proactive when specific issues arise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas associated with low-mileage longevity. Since the MOT record shows no recurring structural rust or suspension-related failures, the primary risks are age-related rather than usage-related. It is necessary to perform a thorough check of the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as rarely driven cars often develop surface oxidation. Additionally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the suspension bushes for perishion, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the tread depth when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
