2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DX10 SXS

The most recent MOT test on March 11, 2025, confirms the Toyota Yaris remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 98,418 miles. This marks a stable pattern over the past three years, with every test—including the unusual double entry in March 2024—resulting in a pass. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear. The final pass in 2025, just over four months ago, aligns with the vehicle’s age, though it is now due for its next test on March 11, 2026. The mileage progression shows a consistent average of approximately 6,150 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in usage, though the 2023–2024 interval (93,037 to 97,259 miles) reflects a slightly higher annual mileage of around 7,000 miles. The double MOT entry in March 2024—both passing—does not indicate mechanical failure but rather an administrative duplication, likely due to a system error. Overall, the mileage suggests moderate usage without extreme wear patterns. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which may show fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Structural integrity is another concern—inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety without being visible from the exterior. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter failure is common in this model and often goes unnoticed until emissions testing.
