2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · RE09 NUB

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 December 2025 at 38,132 miles with no defects recorded. This outcome is consistent with the preceding three annual inspections, which also returned clear passes. The single failure recorded on 21 December 2023 appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle successfully passed its inspection on the same day without any recorded defects, suggesting no underlying mechanical failure occurred at that time. The recorded mileage of 38,132 miles over a seventeen-year lifespan indicates a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 2,243 miles per annum. This consistent, low-mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short, local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of recorded advisories over the past four years implies that the vehicle has either been maintained to a high standard or that the low mileage has spared it from the typical wear associated with daily high-usage commuting. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of long-term light use and potential inactivity. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and surface corrosion on the underside or exhaust system that may not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the tyres for signs of age-related cracking or sidewall degradation, even if the tread depth remains legal. Verify the service history for evidence of fluid changes, as low annual mileage can lead to oil sludge or moisture accumulation in the engine and braking systems if intervals are neglected.
