2009 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · PJ58 SWN

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 72,148 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since July 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 72,148 miles against a 2009 build date, an average of roughly 4,244 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle, consistent use: 62,487 miles in July 2022, 65,633 in July 2023, 69,099 in July 2024, and 72,148 in June 2025. A failed test on 8 July 2024 at 69,087 miles was followed by a pass the next day at 69,099 miles with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded mechanical fault and the car was retested without remediation logged. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's seventeen years. Low annual mileage often means long stationary periods that accelerate rust on structural members and perish rubber components despite spotless MOT sheets. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard rather than addressing wear before it triggers a fault. Verify the 8 July 2024 failure paperwork and confirm no outstanding brake binding or exhaust emissions concerns exist that the retest omitted.
