2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SL11 UJG

The 2011 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 29 May 2026 at 10,130 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with a clean pass recorded annually from 2023 through 2025. One failed test appears on the same day as the 2026 pass, flagged for a nearside rear tyre fitted with an incorrect aspect ratio on the same axle, a straightforward compliance issue rather than a mechanical fault. This suggests a minor oversight in tyre specification rather than a deeper maintenance concern. The mileage pattern reinforces the impression of exceptionally light use. Over roughly fifteen years, the odometer has advanced just 811 miles between the May 2023 test at 9,319 miles and the May 2026 test at 10,130 miles, averaging well under 300 miles per year in recent service. The annual increments between 2023 and 2025 were modest, rising from 9,319 to 9,561 to 9,793 miles. Such low annual accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged stationary periods, which can affect rubber components, brake surfaces, and fluid condition through age-related deterioration rather than wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect the tyre fitment carefully, particularly the nearside rear, to confirm matching aspect ratios and adequate tread depth across all wheels. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and seals deserve close attention for perishing or cracking caused by time rather than use. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion from standing, and all fluid levels, including coolant and brake fluid, should be verified for condition and age. The underbody and sills warrant inspection for any corrosion, as even low-mileage vehicles stored in damp conditions can develop structural issues over fifteen years.
