2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · LN55 AJN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 110,909 miles passed, the tester identified multiple suspension-related issues that were not present in previous years. The appearance of worn suspension arm bushes on both front sides and corroded rear coil springs indicates that the lower chassis components are reaching the end of their functional life, requiring proactive attention to prevent future failures or handling degradation. At 110,909 miles over 17 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. The mileage record shows steady usage patterns with roughly 6,700 miles driven between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme long-distance stress, though the age of the vehicle accounts for the-related degradation of rubber components and metalwork despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the arm bush play flagged in the January 2026 report. The corrosion on the rear coil springs also requires close scrutiny to ensure the structural integrity is not compromised, which could lead to a snapped spring. Given the previous exhaust mounting failure in early 2024, it is advisable to check the exhaust system's hangers for signs of excessive vibration or rust to ensure the repair remains secure.
