2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · AF68 OTC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on October 24, 2025 at 30,681 miles shows a pass only after a failure for multiple tyre defects and brake wear. While the car currently meets minimum standards, the recurring nature of failures related to consumable items suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach a legal threshold. At 30,681 miles, this eight-year-old Toyota has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Between September 2023 at 21,589 miles and September 2024 at 24,843 miles, the vehicle covered only over 3,200 miles in a full year. Such infrequent use explains the perishing of rubber components noted in the most recent records, as tyres can dry out and crack over time despite having low tread depth. A buyer should closely inspect the current set of tyres, as the 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres despite sufficient tread. The front brake discs were noted as worn in 2025, so a physical inspection should check for thinning or pitting to ensure they are not nearing replacement. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension bushing wear that should be verified by a technician to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
