2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AY10 XRT

The 2010 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 June 2025 at 141,398 miles with zero defects recorded. This is the lowest recorded mileage on file, suggesting the vehicle may have been standing or used very lightly since the last annual test. The 2024 test history shows a minor windscreen washer defect rectified on the same day, while 2023 flagged worn front tyre tread — both routine consumable items rather than structural or mechanical concerns. The absence of recurring serious faults over the documented period indicates consistent basic upkeep. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,837 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 125,867 miles in June 2022 to 137,927 miles by June 2024, representing approximately 6,000 miles per year during that window. The sharp drop to 141,398 miles by June 2025 — an increase of just 3,471 miles in twelve months — suggests a notable reduction in use or a period of limited activity. No significant gaps appear in the annual testing pattern, with tests conducted consistently each June or July since 2022. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres carefully, given the 2023 advisory for worn tread on both nearside and offside front tyres. Although subsequent tests show no repeat of this defect, uneven or edge wear can indicate tracking, suspension bush wear, or ball joint deterioration that may have been addressed or could return under different driving conditions. The windscreen washer defect from 2024 was minor and rectified, but verifying the washer system operates correctly remains prudent. Given the vehicle's age and the low recent mileage, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and subframes, is advisable. Brake components and exhaust integrity should also be checked, as prolonged periods of low use can accelerate surface corrosion on these systems even when mileage remains modest.
