Our Verdict
This Toyota Yaris presents a largely low
The single MOT failure was for a nearside front coil spring fracture, which is one of the most common wear-and-tear items on older vehicles and is not generally indicative of broader mechanical issues. Coil springs are a relatively inexpensive replacement and the fact that the car passed its next test the very next day suggests the repair was carried out promptly and effectively. The 2024 advisory on front brake pads wearing thin is a routine maintenance observation rather than a failure, but it is worth checking whether the pads were subsequently renewed.
When viewing this Yaris, ask to see evidence of the coil spring replacement, as the work should have been completed between the September 2025 failure and the pass on the same date. Also confirm whether the brake pads flagged in 2024 have been changed. A full service history would add confidence, though only MOT data is available here. Given the low annual mileage, the engine, clutch and gearbox are unlikely to have suffered heavy wear, which is a positive indicator for longevity.
The Toyota Yaris with the 1.33-litre petrol engine is renowned for its fuel efficiency, typically returning around 50-55 mpg in mixed driving and up to 60 mpg on motorway runs. Road tax (VED) for a 2013 petrol Yaris usually falls into a low band, keeping annual costs modest. Insurance is also favourable, with the Yaris sitting in a low insurance group, making it an affordable choice for younger or budget-conscious drivers.
Routine maintenance is generally inexpensive thanks to Toyota's reputation for mechanical simplicity and parts availability. Typical annual servicing costs for a Yaris of this age are in the £150-£250 range for an interim service and £250-£400 for a full service. Allowing for fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,600 is realistic for this vehicle, depending on mileage driven.
Begin with a thorough inspection of the front suspension, particularly both front coil springs, as one has already failed and replaced springs can occasionally be of varying quality. Inspect the front brake pads and discs for remaining wear, given the 2024 advisory; the pads should have substantial material left if renewed since. Check the tyres for even wear and adequate tread depth, as tyres are among the most common MOT failure points across the Yaris range.
On the bodywork, look for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, sills and rear tailgate, which are common rust-prone areas on Yaris models of this generation. Inspect the headlamps for clouding or cracking, as headlamp issues are the most frequent MOT failure category for this model overall. Inside the cabin, check that all electrical systems function correctly, including the air conditioning, electric windows and central locking, and verify there are no warning lights on the dashboard.
This 2013 Toyota Yaris, finished in Turquoise with a 1,329cc petrol engine, has accumulated 53,632 miles across 13 years of use, equating to roughly 4,100 miles per year on average. The MOT history shows five recorded tests over four years, with four passes and one failure relating to a fractured front coil spring. The most recent test in September 2026 was a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting the car was in roadworthy condition at its last examination.
The Toyota Yaris has a strong reliability reputation, reflected in an aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9% across nearly half a million examples analysed, placing it among the more dependable superminis on UK roads. The most common failure points are headlamp issues, tyres and anti-roll bar components, which are typical wear-and-tear items rather than fundamental design flaws.
