2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · RF56 SVS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite a recent setback. The most recent test in November 2025 at 119,359 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a damaged offside front tyre reaching the ply cords, but the vehicle passed immediately upon retest with no further defects recorded. This indicates the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures when they arise, maintaining a clean record for the three years prior to that incident. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 13,288 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,400 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway use, which generally benefits the engine components and drivetrain, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber and plastics. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system and rubber-basedারwork. The November 2022 test at 106,071 miles flagged a defective exhaust mounting and a minor gas leak, which suggests the hangers or the manifold itself may be prone to corrosion or thinning over time. Additionally, the history of perishing and cracking tyres in 2022 alongside the sidewall cut in 2025 indicates that the tyres may be failing by age rather than just tread depth. Inspect the sidewalls for further cracking and check the suspension bushes for perished rubber, as these are common points of failure on a Yaris of this age and mileage profile.
