2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV10 OKH

The 2026-03-10 MOT resulted in a pass , but multiple corrosion-related issues were recorded, including nearside and offside rear coil spring corrosion, rear sub-frame corrosion, and a corroded rear brake pipe. An oil leak was noted as non-excessive, and the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. These findings mirror earlier reports, indicating persistent corrosion in the rear suspension and underbody components. The preceding MOT on 2026-03-09 was a fail , with identical corrosion issues and an additional excessive wear on the offside front lower suspension arm pin/bush . This suggests that mechanical degradation is ongoing , particularly in suspension and corrosion-prone areas. While the latest test passed, the repeated presence of these faults implies no significant improvement in the vehicle’s condition. Since 2024, corrosion and tyre wear have been consistently flagged. The 2025 MOT noted multiple tyres near the legal limit, and the 2024 failed test included mismatched front tyres and tread depth violations. These issues point to neglected maintenance or harsh operating conditions , potentially accelerating wear on critical components. The vehicle’s mileage of 108,641 miles over 16 years equates to ~6,790 miles annually, which is typical for its age .
