4 How it compares with other 2001 Yariss

Against every Toyota Yaris first used in 2001 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (5,814 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2001 YarisWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts20 of 22 (91%)56.0% in 2025Higher than the group figure
Fails, first attempts1 of 2235.0% of first testsLower than the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)19.0% of first tests1 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (17 Aug 2026)106,305 miles93,679 (middle half 69,554–120,221)Inside the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)15 of 2216.4% of first testsHigher than the group figure

"Typical" is every Toyota Yaris first used in 2001, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

  1. On this carBrakes. advisory recorded in the last two years (2023, 2024, 2025). Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.
  2. On this carSuspension & steering. advisory recorded in the last two years (2018, 2020, 2024, 2025, 2026). Worth looking behind each wheel with a torch at the coil springs and bushes, and listening for knocks over bumps on a test drive.
  3. On this carLamps & visibility. major item, item fixed during the test recorded in the last two years (2025, 2026). Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Checked on 31 October 2026.
