In short, it had it's last MOT in early April 2019 with 28,182 miles on the clock, just checked and it now has 28,367 some 27 months later. That's low even for me. It's always been (and still is) insured, but currently not MOT'd, that ran out April 2020, obviously, or October if you count the 6 months free extension due to the pandemic. The insurance company should give me a damn rebate for zero miles covered :roll:

So it's not moved for a long time - I think I last drove it one day in March last year to grab some shopping and once in February for a meeting in the local Maccy D's :roll: Then the current situation came along so it was sorned. Has been sorned more than not for quite a few years now.
On checking back, it's actually only done 1000 miles in the last 5 years, I guess mostly due to being sat 6 months at a time or thereabouts with me not even bothering with it. What's more surprising is it still fires up on the first click of the starter even after a winter break. It does look in a terribly sorry state though, needs an exterior clean desperately
I just look at it these days on the rare occasion that I drag the mower through the garage to do the front garden. After the mowing, it now gets started and I sit in it with the AC on full to cool me down from all the "hard" toil I just did :lol: And to hopefully keep it working until I decide wtf I'm going to do with it.
Anyway.....
That Yaris got up to £4370 and didn't even make it's reserve which I must say I was surprised about despite the lack of mileage on it. Add in buyers fees/admin/transport and it's a hefty price for what it is imo, even at it's failed bid. No idea what the seller wants for it. I've moved on to other things to look at. Bid on a few but also didn't make reserve on those too.
Spotted something on the other end of the scale, having 100k MORE than that Yaris, but I try to stick to low mileage - depends how the bidding goes. Either way.....
.....the search continues :roll: :lol:
