Our Verdict
This 2007 Toyota Yaris offers decent value for a low-mileage classic, but the 2024 MOT failure without recorded defects raises concerns requiring closer inspection.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection to investigate the 2024 MOT failure, which may indicate electrical or emissions system faults common in older Toyotas. Check service records for regular maintenance, particularly oil changes and spark plug replacements. Negotiate based on the high mileage (87,429 miles for a 19-year-old car) and the need for potential repairs to aging components like the timing belt or water pump.
Petrol economy is likely modest (around 35-40 mpg) for a 2007 1.0-litre engine. Tax would be £145 annually under 2026 rules. Insurance group 16-18 is mid-range for a small car. Maintenance costs may rise due to age, with potential expenses for clutch replacements (common in Yaris models) or exhaust system repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Focus on the 2024 MOT failure - check for unresolved electrical faults or ECU issues. Inspect the engine for oil leaks or excessive carbon buildup, and test the transmission for rough shifts. Examine the body for rust in typical Yaris weak spots (wheel arches, sills) and check the condition of the timing belt (replace if overdue). Verify that the 87,429-mile odometer reading is accurate with service records.
The Yaris has a mostly clean MOT history with two recent passes at 80,760 and 87,429 miles, though a 2024 failure without defects suggests potential hidden issues. Its 998cc petrol engine and 19-year age place it in a high-mileage bracket, with no aggregate reliability data available to confirm its performance compared to peers.
While Toyota Yaris models generally enjoy good reliability, this specific 2007 example lacks aggregate MOT data to confirm its performance against the model's reputation.
