Our Verdict
A well-maintained 1999 Toyota Yaris with a clean MOT history, but its age and high mileage warrant careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritize a thorough mechanical inspection, focusing on the 998cc petrol engine, transmission, and suspension components. Check for rust or body corrosion, common in older vehicles. Negotiate based on the high mileage and age, but the clean MOT history supports a reasonable price. Verify if service records accompany the vehicle, as they would confirm consistent upkeep. Be cautious of hidden issues in older models where parts may be harder to source.
Fuel economy for the 998cc petrol engine is likely modest, with typical urban consumption around 35-40 mpg. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually for petrol vehicles registered before 2017. Insurance groups for 1999 models vary, but the Yaris's small size may place it in a mid-range group. Maintenance costs could rise due to age, with potential expenses for worn suspension, brakes, or engine components. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Inspect the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, and check the transmission for smooth gear shifts. Examine the body for rust, particularly around wheel arches and under the chassis. Test the brakes and suspension for wear, as these components degrade over time. Review the service history for regular maintenance, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in older Japanese vehicles. Note that the absence of MOT failures does not guarantee no underlying issues, as some faults may not trigger immediate failure.
This 1999 Toyota Yaris has consistently passed MOT tests with no defects recorded over the last four years, covering 129,122 miles. While the clean MOT history suggests good maintenance, the vehicle's age (27 years in 2026) and high mileage (above average for its model year) indicate potential wear. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Yaris model, limiting broader context.
