2010 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · BV10 OMH

This 2010 Toyota Yaris currently holds a valid, very recent MOT, passed with zero recorded defects at its most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 43,222 miles, just three months prior to the current date of 15 June 2026. The maintenance trend is improving, with no faults logged in the last two consecutive tests, following isolated minor issues flagged in 2023 and 2024 that have not recurred in subsequent checks. The recorded mileage of 43,222 miles equates to roughly 2,701 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan, which is well below average for its age. Mileage increments between consecutive MOT tests are consistent, ranging from 1,542 to 2,358 miles per year, with no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest irregular use or odometer tampering. This pattern points to regular light use rather than extended periods of standing, though age-related wear on non-mileage-dependent components remains a key consideration for a used purchase. Testers flagged a minor exhaust joint leak and corrosion during the February 2024 test at 39,188 miles, so a buyer should inspect the full exhaust system in person for active leaks, rust perforation, and loose mounting, particularly at the rear joint and silencer. Testers noted worn front inner tyre edges during the February 2023 test at 36,830 miles, so current tyre tread, sidewall condition, and wear patterns should be checked to rule out underlying suspension misalignment or worn steering components. Even with no recent defects, low annual mileage on a 16-year-old vehicle often means rubber components like suspension bushes, brake hoses, and caliper seals have degraded from age rather than friction wear, so a full suspension and braking system check is recommended. A structural underbody and wheel arch inspection is also advisable to catch any hidden rust that may not have been severe enough to fail the MOT but could worsen over time.
