2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WN61 AEM

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 9,502 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and no recurring issues with structural integrity, braking systems, or emissions. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 633 miles per year. The record shows very minimal movement between tests, such as the 30-mile increase between the October 2024 test at 9,495 miles and the October 2023 test at 9,465 miles. While this suggests very light usage, such prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to specific mechanical issues that an MOT test might not fully capture. A buyer should focus on components that degrade through lack of use rather than wear from distance. I recommend a thorough inspection of all rubber components, specifically suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls for cracking, and various engine vacuum hoses, as these often perish when a vehicle sits for long intervals. You should also check the battery health and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing due to inactivity, despite the clean MOT results. The lack of recorded faults is encouraging, but the extremely low mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to the typical mechanical stresses of regular driving. Inspect the service history to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed according to time intervals rather than just mileage, as stagnant fluids can cause internal engine corrosion or moisture buildup.
