2010 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent pass in January 2026, though the record indicates a recent decline in consumable maintenance. While the car passed the January 2026 test at 65,885 miles, the tester flagged multiple tyre defects, including an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and cracking or perishing on the nearside front and nearside rear tyres. This suggests that while major mechanical components are currently meeting standards, the owner has neglected basic tyre upkeep in the most recent period. The mileage profile shows very low usage for a 2010 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,118 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-level driving, with the mileage increasing from 49,031 in June 2020 to 65,885 in January 2026. This slow accumulation of mileage can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evident in the recent advisories regarding perishing tyres. The testing frequency has remained regular, providing a reliable chronological trail of the vehicle's condition. A prospective buyer must scrutinise the chassis and suspension components due to historical corrosion issues. The December 2023 test at 59,468 miles identified corrosion on both lower suspension arms and the front sub-frame, though the tester noted these were not seriously weakened at that time. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should confirm whether this surface corrosion has progressed or if the structural integrity of the sub-frame remains sound. The history also shows a recurring pattern of fractured coil springs, specifically in June 2021 and May 2018, which warrants a close check of the current suspension setup. Braking and electrical systems appear largely resolved after previous failures. The tester recorded an ABS fault in June 2020 and a corroded offside front brake hose in December 2023, but subsequent tests show no ongoing issues with these systems. Beyond the immediate need for new tyres to rectify the recent advisories, the primary focus should remain on monitoring the progression of the reported sub-frame and suspension arm corrosion.
