2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SM07 AEZ

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 31 October 2025 at 96,027 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous issues. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without any advisories suggest the vehicle is being actively maintained to meet minimum legal safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,054 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage, with only 3,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 3,000 miles covered in the year following that. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes and tyres if the vehicle frequently sits for long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in September 2023 and 2024, as the specific mechanical reasons for those drops are not detailed in the summary. Given the age of the Yaris, a thorough check of the structural integrity is essential, specifically around the sills and rear wheel arches, as corrosion often affects vehicles regardless of mileage. Additionally, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-mileage cars are prone to surface rust and component seizing over time.
