2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CK10 APU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a clear trend of worsening mechanical and structural condition. While it passed its most recent test on June 4, 2026, the volume of advisories has increased significantly compared to the 2023 record. The transition from a clean MOT at 91,943 miles to multiple pressing defects at 94,666 miles indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where deferred maintenance is beginning to manifest rapidly. At 94,666 miles over 16 years, the Yaris has averaged approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low mileage profile suggests light use, but the data reveals that between June 2024 and June 2026, the car only covered 1,434 miles. This low rate of travel likely explains the degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perished suspension arm bushes, worn top mounts, and perishing tyre sidewalls, which often fail due to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front and rear subframes, as the tester flagged corrosion in the June 2026 test. Structural integrity is the primary concern here, as rust on load-bearing members can lead to failure. The recurring offside front brake binding and the pitted, scored front brake discs suggest the braking system has been neglected or is suffering from seized calipers. Additionally, the damage to the front shock absorber casings and the broken headlight mounting indicate physical impact or poor handling that requires immediate attention to ensure the vehicle remains safe.
