Our Verdict
Recommended for cautious buyers who can address brake and suspension repairs. The vehicle shows manageable issues but requires attention to avoid future problems.
Prioritise checking the brake system, particularly the front discs and pads, as these were cited in multiple MOTs. Inspect the suspension bushes for further wear and ensure the windscreen washer jets are correctly aligned. Negotiate based on the 2023 MOT failure and potential repair costs. Verify service history to confirm if these issues were addressed. Look for consistent maintenance records to validate the vehicle's condition.
The 1.3L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, typically 50-60 mpg, resulting in annual fuel costs of £600-£800 for 10,000-mile drivers. Tax is £145 annually (CO2 band 131-140g/km). Insurance group 12 is average for this class. Brake repairs and suspension bush replacements could add £300-£500 in annual maintenance. Total estimated annual running cost: £1,100-£1,300.
Focus on the front brake system: check for uneven pad wear, disc thickness, and rotor condition. Inspect suspension bushes for cracks or excessive play, and test the windscreen washer jets for proper alignment. Examine the rear registration plate lamp functionality. Check for brake fluid leaks and ensure the vehicle's service history confirms recent repairs. Test drive for unusual noises over bumps or braking.
This 2015 Toyota Yaris has a mixed MOT history with recurring suspension bush wear and brake component degradation. At 57,098 miles (below average for its age), it offers reasonable value but requires scrutiny of its service records and mechanical condition.
While Toyota Yaris models are generally reliable, this specific vehicle shows wear patterns typical of high-mileage 2015 models, particularly in braking and suspension components.
