Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 September 2025 at 87,429 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass, coupled with the absence of advisories in the preceding years, indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. The mechanical health of the car appears consistent, as the record shows no recurring patterns of component failure or neglected maintenance items such as worn suspension bushes or degraded braking systems. The recorded mileage of 87,429 over a nineteen-year lifespan averages approximately 4,600 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The progression of mileage is steady and logical, with no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The jump from 72,300 miles in March 2023 to 80,760 miles in February 2024 suggests a period of more frequent use, yet the vehicle successfully transitioned through these tests without mechanical intervention. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the vehicle's underside for corrosion, as the Yaris model of this vintage is susceptible to structural rust in the sills and subframe mounts. Despite the absence of tester-flagged issues, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface oxidation on the friction surfaces. Confirm that the tyres show even tread wear, as the lack of recorded advisories suggests the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard, but a personal check remains the only way to confirm the integrity of the drivetrain and exhaust system.

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.
