2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YR11 ACF

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 1 August 2025 at 43,688 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared the July 2023 test at 38,449 miles, the July 2024 test at 41,170 miles, and the August 2025 test at 43,688 miles without issue. At roughly 15 years old, the Yaris shows 43,688 recorded miles, equating to about 2,913 miles per year. This is low for its age and points to light use or extended standing periods. The records reveal a curious pattern: on both 16 July 2024 and 1 August 2025 the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileages (41,170 and 43,687/43,688 respectively) with no defects recorded. Such same-day fail-pass cycles with zero faults suggest administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects. Between 2023 and 2025 the car covered only 5,239 miles, confirming a sparse, low-exposure usage profile. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. Standing time accelerates perishing of rubber components and can promote underbody rust even when MOT records stay clean. The absence of advisories means no tester flagged worn coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, but low mileage does not exempt the Yaris from age-related degradation. Verify the two anomalous same-day fail-pass entries with DVSA before purchase, as the paperwork irregularity warrants clarification. Otherwise the mechanical record implies a well-kept, lightly used example with no recurring faults or worsening trends across the three-year window.
