V593 DTF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Toyota Yaris (V593 DTF) between August 2022 and January 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 10 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution — at 26 years old a
Given the recent MOT failure on the nearside rear shock absorber, insist on seeing evidence of the replacement part fitted to clear the subsequent pass. A leaking shock absorber at this mileage and age is common, but a budget pattern part may have been used — ask for the invoice and confirm it is a reputable brand. The recurring exhaust leak advisories since 2022 suggest a rear section repair or replacement is likely due; budget £150-£300 for this if not already addressed.
The corrosion advisories on the rear subframe and suspension components are typical for a 26-year-old vehicle and align with the model's top aggregate failure reason of corrosion. Have the vehicle raised on a ramp and inspect the rear subframe mounting area thoroughly, as corrosion can progress quickly once it begins in the prescribed areas. Check all tyre sidewalls for cracking, as the 2024 test flagged both rear tyres as worn on edge — uneven wear may indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Ask the seller directly what work was carried out between the failure and pass on the same day in January 2026. A same-day pass after a shock absorber leak often means a cheap replacement; verify the part quality and fitting.
The 998cc petrol engine is frugal, typically returning 45-55 mpg in mixed driving, keeping fuel costs modest. Road tax for a vehicle of this age and engine size is £0 (pre-2001 vehicles are exempt), which is a clear advantage. Insurance falls into group 2-3 for this variant, meaning premiums of around £300-£500 per year for a typical driver.
Typical maintenance is low, but age-related items such as exhaust sections (£150-£300), shock absorbers (£80-£150 per pair fitted), and brake discs/pads (£150-£250) are now likely. Estimated annual running cost sits at £600-£900, dominated by maintenance rather than fuel or tax.
Start with a physical inspection of the rear shock absorbers — the January 2026 failure for a serious fluid leak should be addressed. Look for fresh oil staining, corrosion on the piston rod, and check the mountings. Inspect the rear subframe mounting prescribed area referenced in both the 2022 and 2026 advisories; corrosion here can spread to structural components if left untreated.
Examine the exhaust system from the rear silencer backwards, as three of five recorded tests flagged minor exhaust leaks. Check both front headlamp lenses for the hazing/film noted in 2024 and 2026 advisories — this can reduce light output and may warrant restoration. Test the anti-roll bar linkages by hand on both sides, as worn pins/bushes were flagged in 2022.
Finally, inspect the rear tyres closely for uneven edge wear as flagged in 2024 — this could indicate camber issues from worn rear springs or bushings. With 86,366 miles on a 1.0-litre engine, listen for timing chain noise on cold start and check for oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, both common on high-mileage Toyota engines of this era.
This January 2000-registered Toyota Yaris has covered 86,366 miles across five recorded MOT tests, averaging around 3,300 miles per year — well below the model average of 5,637. The recent test on 10 January 2026 recorded a FAIL on a serious rear shock absorber fluid leak, with the same items then passing immediately afterwards, suggesting a quick-fix repair. Recurring advisories on exhaust leaks (three tests), suspension corrosion (two tests), and subframe corrosion (two tests) point to age-related wear that will continue to develop.
The Toyota Yaris aggregate data shows an 80% MOT pass rate across 470,311 vehicles, with corrosion, anti-roll bar wear, and tyre issues being the most common failure points — all consistent with the advisories on this particular example.
