2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · R21 ABW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-11 at 43,264 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a fail with no defects listed, indicating potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 show stable performance, with no recorded faults across three consecutive annual inspections. The absence of critical failures suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard, though the repeated fails without recorded issues raise questions about test accuracy or minor non-compliances. The mileage of 43,264 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 3,933 miles annually, significantly lower than average. This suggests limited usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, battery life, and brake system integrity. The gap between 2023-08-11 (35,366 miles) and 2024-08-13 (39,943 miles) shows a 4,577-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 3,311-mile rise to 43,264 miles by 2025. Such patterns may indicate sporadic use, warranting closer inspection of aging systems. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, for wear given the low-mileage usage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be assessed for corrosion or binding, as inactivity can lead to sticking mechanisms. Structural rust is less likely given the absence of corrosion reports, but a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. The lack of advisories in MOT records does not eliminate hidden issues, so a pre-purchase survey remains essential.
