2004 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · PL53 TZK

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 50,182 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 6 March 2025 at 48,855 miles also showed a clean sheet. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the car has not entered a worsening or deteriorating condition in the test record. Recorded mileage sits at 50,182 against a 2004 build, an average of roughly 2,281 miles per year. The tests show very low annual accumulation: 48,080 miles on 8 March 2024, 48,088 on 18 March 2024, 48,852 on 5 March 2025, 48,855 on 6 March 2025, and 50,182 on 27 February 2026. The gaps between tests reflect under 2,000 miles per year throughout. Two failed tests in March 2024 and March 2025 show a one-day fail-then-pass pattern with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the centre rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage and the 22-year age mean rubber suspension bushes, coil spring seats, and brake caliper seals may have degraded through age rather than use. Standing periods implied by the low annual distances raise the risk of seized brake components, flat-spotted tyres, and subframe corrosion unseen in the MOT data. Check structural integrity at sills, suspension mounting points, and the exhaust system for rust. Verify brake disc condition and handbrake function after prolonged inactivity. The absence of advisories does not certify component life, only compliance on test day.
