2007 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SM07 BAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. Although the most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 58,580 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate retest passed with no further defects noted. This suggests a minor administrative or consumable issue that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since then, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories since 2022. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady but slow progression from 41,112 miles in late 2022 to 58,580 miles in late 2025. This low-frequency usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components compared to higher mileage counterparts. However, low mileage over long periods can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perish from age despite low use. While the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle warrants a close check for tyre sidewall cracks and perished rubber seals. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as low-use cars often suffer from seized calipers during inactivity. Given the clean history, the structural integrity appears sound, but a visual check of the underside for hidden rust remains necessary to ensure the vehicle maintains long-term compliance.
