2002 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WK02 AAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last four years. The most recent test in October 2022 at 131,946 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean results in 2020 and 2021, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a high standard of operation without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of twenty-four years old, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between October 2020 and October 2022, the car covered 14,284 miles, which suggests light annual use. The only anomaly in the recorded history occurred in October 2019 at 114,709 miles, where the vehicle failed a test but passed a re-test the following day after traveling five miles. This sequence suggests a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure or neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the effects of low-mileage use, specifically regarding dry rot in rubber components and potential brake corrosion from extended inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, older Toyotas of this era often develop surface rust on the sills and rear mounting points that may not be flagged until they become structural. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre hoses for cracking, as low mileage does not prevent the degradation of materials over two decades.
