2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SP58 FOH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 124,465 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in late April 2024, the immediate re-test success three miles later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist as mechanical neglect. At 17 years old with 124,465 miles, the Yaris reflects a moderate usage pattern of approximately 7,300 miles per year. This annual accumulation aligns with typical domestic use for a smaller hatchback, avoiding excessive strain on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a steady interval between tests, with a notable gap between January 2022 and April 2023 where the vehicle covered only 776 miles. Since that period, usage has remained consistent, averaging roughly 5,000 miles annually, suggesting the car is now subject to regular, short-distance operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear and environmental corrosion despite the clean MOT history. Given the vehicle's age, a close check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these parts often perish before triggering an MOT failure. The record does not show recurring issues with binding brake calipers or structural leaks, but the buyer should verify the brake discs for pitting and inspect the integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches where surface rust typically develops on older Toyota models.
