2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · YX02 AVL

The 2023‑08‑16 MOT at 86,275 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle was roadworthy at that point and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The earlier July 31, 2023 test also listed no recorded defects despite being marked as failed, indicating that no substantive mechanical failures were observed in the most recent inspections. The 2002 model, now 24 years old, has accumulated 86,275 miles, averaging roughly 3,600 miles per year, which is low for its age. Between the June 9, 2022 test at 71,976 miles and the July 31, 2023 test at 86,271 miles the mileage rose by 14,295 miles in 13 months, suggesting a period of heavy use, after which the reading changed only four miles by the August 16, 2023 test, indicating the car has been stationary for an extended interval. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and proper emission levels, and any previous advisories should be verified. Consumable items such as tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition also merit attention, as they can indicate how the vehicle has been stored and used.
