2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BV10 OMG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 68,506 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure for a worn nearside front tyre and a damaged nearside rear tyre. This trend suggests the owner only addresses safety-critical components once they fail an inspection, rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 16 years old with 68,506 miles, this 2010 Yaris has covered an average of approximately 4,282 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,800 miles driven between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 9,500 miles covered between June 2025 and May 2026. Low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which can be more problematic than high mileage-based wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a fractured nearside front coil spring in June 2025 at 58,927 miles. The recurring failures regarding tyres worn to the edges in both 2024 and 2026 indicate potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that remain unaddressed. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough physical check for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is essential, as these structural elements were not highlighted in the recorded failures.
