2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · YR52 MYT

This vehicle presents a critical safety risk requiring immediate professional inspection. Most Recent MOT Outcome: The most recent check on 2025-07-14 was PASSED, with a minor exhaust leak noted (6.1.2 (a)). This indicates the vehicle is currently in good condition, but the history reveals a significant pattern of progressive failure. Mechanical Pattern and Trend: The recurring mechanical pattern is a severe deterioration of the suspension and drivetrain components over the last two years (2022-2023), culminating in a failed MOT test on 2022-08-12. The trend is clearly worsening , not stable or improving. The progression from a minor exhaust leak to multiple failed checks involving front brakes, drivetrain joints, and worn tyres demonstrates that the vehicle is no longer safe for daily use. Mileage Context: The mileage of 125,404 miles (approx. 5,225 miles per year) is low relative to a 2002 model, suggesting the vehicle may have been used for a long period, though the wear is not uniform. The lack of defects in the 2023-2022 checks suggests the vehicle has not been driven heavily in the last year, but the underlying wear is not stabilizing. Key Risks: 1.
