2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WG60 ACV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-05-13 at 84,923 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date includes a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or retest. The absence of recorded faults in the last three tests (2023-04-26, 2024-05-01, 2025-05-13) indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified. The car’s low mileage of 84,923 miles for its 16-year age suggests infrequent use, which may have preserved components but also raises concerns about potential long-term inactivity-related wear. The mileage progression shows a sharp decline in usage between 2024 and 2025, with only 3,147 miles recorded over 12 months, compared to 5,066 miles between 2023 and 2024. This irregularity could signal periods of storage or limited operation, increasing the risk of corrosion, battery degradation, or seized moving parts. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which may reflect either meticulous maintenance or incomplete data. The absence of advisories for critical systems like suspension, brakes, or exhaust further supports the current roadworthiness but does not confirm long-term reliability. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in underbody areas and body seams, given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Check suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for stiffness or wear, as infrequent use can lead to premature degradation. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as static periods may cause uneven wear or binding. Confirm the battery’s condition and test electrical systems for intermittent faults, which are common in vehicles with irregular usage patterns. The MOT record provides limited insight into these areas, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
