2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · YF09 AEL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 8 December 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests without any recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows two failures in October 2023 and December 2025, these were resolved within days, suggesting the owner addresses issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is typical for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 7,324 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between December 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose from 111,497 to 124,509 miles. This jump of 13,012 miles in a single year is nearly double the historical annual average, indicating a shift in how the vehicle was utilised during the last twelve months. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a seventeen year old vehicle. A buyer should specifically inspect the underside for structural corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade regardless of the MOT outcome. The lack of recorded brake or tyre wear in the history suggests these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life given the recent spike in mileage. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the increased mileage seen in 2025. While the DVSA record is clean, a physical check of the engine bay and chassis is necessary to confirm that the lack of MOT defects reflects genuine mechanical health rather than a lenient testing regime.
