Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage is impressively low for the age, the most recent MOT reveals concerning signs of structural corrosion and suspension wear that require immediate attention.
Your primary focus should be a thorough physical inspection of the underbody. The 2025 MOT noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear sills; while not yet a failure point, this type of corrosion is progressive. Ask if the car has undergone professional rust treatment or determine if the rust is merely surface level or deep-seated.
Check the service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained regularly. Given the low mileage, the car may have sat for long periods, which can lead to perished rubber components or seized brakes. Negotiate based on the immediate work required to replace the front suspension arms and axle bushes, which were flagged in the most recent test.
The 1329cc engine is known for its efficiency, likely delivering between 45-55 MPG depending on driving style. It falls into a relatively low insurance group, making it an economical choice for city driving or younger drivers.
Maintenance costs are generally low for the Yaris, though you should be prepared for wear and tear items like tyres and brakes, as evidenced by the MOT history. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £900-£1,100, including fuel, basic insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the lower suspension and chassis. The 2025 MOT specifically mentioned corrosion on the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Use a flashlight to check for bubbling paint or rust on the rear sills and inspect the rear axle mounting bushes, which were noted as deteriorated.
Examine the tyres carefully. The history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn to the legal limit or on the edges, which could indicate persistent alignment issues or worn shocks. Additionally, check the exhaust system for further leaks, as a minor leak was recorded in the 2022 test.
This 2010 Toyota Yaris presents a paradox of very low mileage at just 50,591 miles for a 16-year-old car. However, the 2025 MOT highlights several significant issues, including structural corrosion on the sills and deteriorated suspension components. While it has passed, the nature of the rust suggests the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related de-gradation.
The 2010-era Toyota Yaris is generally considered highly robust and reliable, often reaching high mileages if the service schedule is followed.
