2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WR59 ABK

This Toyota Yaris presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 September 2025 at 77,359 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of common age-related faults. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,551 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady and predictable increase, moving from 65,569 miles in September 2022 to 77,359 miles by September 2025. This linear progression indicates the car has been used regularly for short trips rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this vintage. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or exhaust corrosion. Even the failure on 7 September 2022 was resolved on the same day at the same mileage, and the lack of subsequent advisories suggests the previous owner addressed issues proactively. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop between tests. Given the low annual mileage, check for signs of brake disc corrosion and verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. Inspect the underside for surface rust on the chassis and subframes, as the absence of MOT-flagged corrosion does not guarantee the absence of cosmetic or early-stage structural oxidation.
