Our Verdict
This 2007 Toyota Yaris presents a remarkably clean MOT history with four consecutive passes following a single test failure in January 2024. With very low mileage for its age, it represents a straightforward and low-risk choice for budget-conscious buyers.
When viewing this Yaris, verify the physical service book alongside the online MOT history to see how regularly oil changes and basic maintenance have been completed. Pay close attention to the clutch bite point and gearbox operation, as these manual components can experience wear over time. Ensure all electrical features, including the central digital dashboard instruments and ventilation controls, function properly before finalising a purchase.
Negotiate on the basis of any cosmetic wear appropriate for a 2007 vehicle, such as stone chips on the silver paintwork or minor alloy and wheel trim scuffs. Because the MOT records do not document advisory notes in recent years, a thorough pre-purchase inspection of wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension bushes is still recommended to avoid immediate post-purchase expenses.
Equipped with a 1.29L petrol engine, this Yaris sits in a modest insurance group and offers fuel economy well-suited for everyday commuting and urban driving. Road tax falls into a standard band for petrol hatchbacks of this era, keeping annual licensing costs manageable.
Routine maintenance is generally affordable due to wide parts availability for the Toyota Yaris range. Typical yearly upkeep should remain straightforward, though budgeting for consumable items like tyres, brake pads, and fluids is always wise for a vehicle of this age.
Given the model's aggregate failure data highlighting corrosion, anti-roll bar components, and tyres as common weak points, inspect the underbody and sills carefully for any signs of rust or degradation. Check the condition of all four tyre treads and sidewalls, ensuring they match or exceed legal depth requirements despite recent clean MOT tests.
Examine the suspension and anti-roll bar links during a test drive for any knocking noises over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces. Although the 2024 MOT test recorded an initial failure before passing on the same day, inspect the braking system and steering components to ensure no lingering mechanical issues are present.
First registered in February 2007, this silver 1.3L petrol Toyota Yaris has covered just 66,976 miles by January 2026. Its recent MOT testing pattern shows strong consistency, featuring clean passes in 2023, 2025, and 2026, alongside a pass following a failure on the same day in January 2024. Backed by an exceptionally low mileage profile compared to the model average, this Yaris offers a compelling proposition for city driving or short commutes.
The Toyota Yaris demonstrates strong dependability in aggregate MOT data, achieving an 80.0% average pass rate across nearly half a million tested vehicles.
