Buying Tips for the Toyota Yaris Mk3 (XP130 second facelift)

  • The 1.5 VVT-iE petrol and Hybrid are the picks; both suit UK urban use far better than a tired early 1.0.
  • Check that the pre-collision and lane warning systems initialise cleanly with no camera alerts.
  • On hybrids, ask when the 12V battery was last replaced and inspect the rear discs for pitting.
