2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · T50 DAJ

The 2019 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, most recently passing its MOT on 2 January 2026 at 51,941 miles with only minor advisories. The tester flagged the nearside front and offside rear outer tyres for slight damage, cracking, or perishing under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii). These are low-risk consumable items, not structural or mechanical failures, and the vehicle has remained free of major defects across its entire record. The pattern of advisories has shifted from mechanical wear components toward superficial tyre condition, suggesting the underlying mechanical health is sound. The mileage progression is consistent and broadly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car stood at 20,172 miles on 30 December 2022, then reached 30,359 miles by 28 December 2023, adding roughly 10,187 miles in one year. It then covered a further 20,892 miles to reach 41,259 miles by 3 January 2025, before climbing only 10,682 miles to the current 51,941 miles by 2 January 2026. The annualised average sits around 7,420 miles per year, which is unremarkable for this age bracket. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as these have drawn repeated attention across multiple tests. In the December 2023 test at 30,359 miles, the tester identified worn nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes under item 5.3.4 (a) (i), though not to the point of excessive movement. The January 2025 test at 41,259 miles flagged front brake pads wearing thin and front brake discs worn, pitted, or scored under items 1.1.13 (a) (ii) and 1.1.14 (a) (ii). These are wear items that may have been replaced since, but the buyer should verify the condition of the front discs, pads, and suspension bushes in person. The tyre advisories from January 2026 further suggest the car may have stood for extended periods, so a thorough check of all four tyres for sidewall cracking, uneven tread wear, and age-related perishing is warranted. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or steering defects have appeared in the record, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age.
