2015 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · SN15 ARZ

This Toyota Yaris has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between September 2021 and November 2025. The most recent inspection on 4 November 2025, at 72,827 miles, confirms the vehicle passed without issue, suggesting the core mechanical and structural systems have been reliably managed. There is no evidence of recurring faults, which implies either diligent servicing or that critical components have remained within serviceable limits. However, the absence of advisories does not preclude wear items—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—from approaching their operational limits, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,600 miles annually, which is typical for a car of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged neglect or extended periods of inactivity. The most recent MOT was conducted just six months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month cycle, though it does not provide an up-to-date assessment of consumable wear since then. The lack of pre-MOT servicing records means any deferred maintenance—such as brake pad replacement or fluid changes—would not be visible in this data. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to fatigue over 11 years and 72,000 miles. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs, as these issues often develop gradually without being flagged in a basic MOT. Additionally, check for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as this can compromise the vehicle’s integrity. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration, so a thorough visual and functional assessment is essential.
