2010 TOYOTA YARIS1.4L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 October 2023 at 90,992 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just ten days prior at the same mileage marking, though the lack of specific defects on the record suggests either an administrative error or a minor non-safety-related issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Yaris, averaging approximately 5,687 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 90,991 miles and the October 2023 test at 90,992 miles, the vehicle recorded only one mile of travel. This indicates the car likely sat for long periods or saw very intermittent use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids due to lack of operation. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from long periods of inactivity. Given the stagnant mileage between tests, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers, perished coolant, and tyres. Dry rot or flat spots on the tyres are likely despite adequate tread depth. The suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be examined for cracking, as the age of the vehicle poses a higher risk of structural corrosion on the underside sills regardless of how few miles the car has covered.
