2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YC09 JOU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 16 February 2026 at 48,540 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This trend of perfect passes across the last five consecutive annual tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets all minimum safety requirements and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,855 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 6,422 miles, indicating very light use or extended storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components, the infrequent interval of operation can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and seals, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Given the lack of recorded advisories or failures in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related factors rather than mileage-induced wear. Check the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as older Toyotas can suffer from surface rust if left in damp environments. Inspect the condition of the tyres for cracking or dry rot, as low mileage often results in perished rubber despite adequate tread depth. Ensure the brake fluid is fresh and the suspension bushes show no signs from long-term use.
