2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DA60 UEZ

The 2010 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 149,384 miles. A failed test appears on the same date with no recorded defects, indicating an aborted initial test followed by an immediate retest that passed without issue. Across the documented history, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections with zero advisories or defects, demonstrating a pattern of diligent upkeep and mechanical reliability. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,336 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. However, a closer look at the chronological data reveals a notable increase in recent usage. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the Yaris covered 14,383 miles, stepping up to 19,504 miles the following year, and reaching 22,371 miles in the most recent twelve-month period. This escalating annual mileage suggests the car has transitioned from lighter local use to sustained commuting or long-distance driving, placing greater demand on consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the flawless MOT record, the rising annual mileage warrants a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as increased mileage generates significant thermal stress and wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for deterioration, given the cumulative impact of 149,384 miles. Tyre condition and tread depth must be verified, as frequent high-mileage driving accelerates wear unevenly. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the absence of corrosion advisories, an in-person check of the underbody and suspension mounts remains prudent to confirm the vehicle has been maintained to the standard its paper trail suggests.
