2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DA60 UFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in December 2025 at 58,132 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of reactive repairs observed in previous years. While the car suffered from failures and multiple advisories historically, the absence of defects in the latest two inspections indicates that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical issues previously flagged by the tester. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,132 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three, with only 2,443 miles driven between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of material degradation such as rubber-based parts and corrosion due to periods of the vehicle standing rather than in use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring faults. The December 2022 test flagged corroded coil springs on both rear corners, which should be checked for structural integrity or imminent failure despite the subsequent pass. Furthermore, the history shows repeated issues with thin brake pads and worn discs, leading to a failure in late 2023. The buyer must verify that the current front brake components have been replaced and do not show signs of premature pitting or uneven wear. The tyres also require scrutiny, as the 2024 test noted a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and the 2022 record highlighted a perishing tyre from 2017. Given the low mileage and high age, the rubber should be inspected for sidewall cracking and dry rot, which often occurs in older vehicles that are not driven frequently regardless of tread depth.
