2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · PO11 WFH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Looking back through the records to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean test history with no failure points or warnings noted over the last four years. This suggests a stable maintenance trend and indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the common recurring issues often found in vehicles of this vintage. With a recorded mileage of 110,050 miles over a fifteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,337 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a small city car of this age and suggests a balanced history of use. It avoids the risks associated with excessive high-mileage wear on the drivetrain and suspension, while also avoiding the stagnation issues often seen in very low-mileage examples, such as perished seals or seized components. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on age-related degradation. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres, checking not only the tread depth but also the sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, which can occur as rubber compounds age. The braking system should be examined for surface corrosion on the discs and any evidence of binding calipers, which can lead to uneven wear or reduced efficiency. A test drive should be used to listen for clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which naturally degrade over 110,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Finally, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed. Check the service book for regular oil and filter changes, as well as the replacement intervals for brake fluid and coolant, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. The health of the 12V battery should be tested, as these components typically have a limited lifespan. Ensuring that the vehicle has a documented history of preventative maintenance will confirm that the absence of MOT defects is a result of proactive care rather than a lack of comprehensive servicing.
