AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2007 Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-27 at 124,583 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-10-21 at 112,254 miles—mirroring the same mileage as the subsequent pass on 2023-10-24—raises questions about data accuracy or temporary compliance. Despite this anomaly, the absence of recurring defects in later tests indicates the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards. The mileage of 124,583 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 6,557 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage surges. The 2022-10-22 test at 109,457 miles and the 2023-10-24 test at 112,254 miles reveal a steady 2,800-mile annual increase, suggesting moderate, consistent use. This pattern implies the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage demands, though older models like this may still require scrutiny of aging components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but older vehicles often experience gradual wear in brake discs or calipers. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion can develop in low-lying areas. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the 2023 failure—regardless of its cause—warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.

Our Verdict

This 2007 Toyota Yaris is a solid prospect for buyers seeking an economical runaround, supported by a recent run of clean MOT certificates. While the high mileage is a factor, the consistent pass record over the last four years suggests the vehicle has met safety standards reliably.

When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the clutch and gearbox, as these are common wear items on high-mileage Yaris models of this era. Given the 124,583-mile reading, request to see any available service invoices to verify if the clutch has been replaced or if the engine has received regular oil changes, which are vital for the longevity of the 1.0-litre VVT-i engine.

Negotiate based on the age-related wear you find during your test drive. Since there are no recent advisories, you are in a good position to ask for a fresh service or a minor discount if the tyres or brake pads appear close to their legal limits, as these were not flagged as defects in the most recent October 2025 inspection.

The 998cc engine is highly economical and sits in a lower insurance group, making it an excellent choice for first-time drivers or those looking to minimise daily motoring expenses. Road tax for a 2007 petrol vehicle of this engine size is generally predictable, though you should verify the specific VED band using the DVLA database.

Maintenance is generally affordable due to the wide availability of parts for the Yaris platform. You should budget approximately £700-£900 annually for fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, though this will fluctuate depending on your annual mileage and the need for any unexpected repairs.

Pay close attention to the suspension components and wheel bearings, as these can suffer from wear on older vehicles, even if they haven't been flagged in recent MOTs. Check for any signs of corrosion on the underside, specifically around the sills and wheel arches, which is common for a vehicle of this age.

Ensure all electrical features, such as the air conditioning and window regulators, are fully operational. While the MOT history shows no defects, these items are not always covered by the test, so a thorough manual inspection of all cabin controls is essential before handing over any money.

Registered in March 2007, this silver 1.0-litre petrol Yaris has covered 124,583 miles. The MOT history shows a clean slate for the last three consecutive tests, following a minor administrative failure in 2023. It represents a straightforward, entry-level motoring option given its age and engine size.

The Toyota Yaris is widely recognised for its robust engineering, and this specific vehicle's recent MOT performance aligns with that reputation for durability.
