2016 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YA16 AEN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 7 November 2025 at 45,294 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has remained in a good mechanical state without the recurring failures or degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 13,098 miles, representing a modest usage rate of roughly 3,274 miles annually. This low usage suggests short-distance urban driving, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, such low mileage over a long period can sometimes lead to the age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than mileage-related wear. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber components and fluids that perish over time. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, or seized brake calipers due to infrequent use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as the lack of heavy braking use means the components may not have had enough heat cycles to clear away rust. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis is also advisable to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion from sitting stationary.
