2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WN59 RVM

This Toyota Yaris demonstrates an exceptional record of mechanical stability, having secured five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent clean bill of health on 29 October 2025 confirms a consistent trend of roadworthiness that is rare for a vehicle of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 80,107 miles is significantly low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,712 miles per annum. Such a low accumulation rate suggests the vehicle has spent much of its life in light-duty use. Mechanically, this typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, although it means rubber components and seals may be more susceptible to age-related degradation than wear-related failure. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific flagged components such as suspension bushes or brake pipes to target. However, a physical inspection should still focus on the integrity of the rubber mounts and suspension linkages, which can perish over time regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any subtle knocks or clicks from the front suspension over uneven surfaces and ensure the steering remains centered without pull. Check the operation of the braking system for any signs of binding or uneven pedal feel, as low-use vehicles can occasionally develop sticking calipers. Verify that the engine idles smoothly and accelerates without hesitation to ensure the low annual mileage has not led to fuel system stagnation. A visual check of the underside for any signs of oil misting or seepage will complement the clean MOT record and provide a complete picture of the vehicle's current mechanical state.
