2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EU11 TXV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 90,468 miles with only a broken rear exhaust mounting bracket noted, indicating it remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, with no recurring major defects since the 2023 failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring. That serious suspension fault was addressed promptly, as the car passed the following month’s test with no recorded issues, and subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 showed clean results aside from minor or consumable items. The absence of repeated failures suggests responsible upkeep between inspections. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,031 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the car covered approximately 18,931 miles over 37 months, equating to roughly 6,100 miles annually—well within expected norms. There are no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes in mileage, and the progression across tests aligns closely with steady, regular use. The recorded readings show reliable logging without anomalies that might suggest tampering or long periods of disuse. Given the history of a failed coil spring and recurring tyre wear issues—particularly edge wear on multiple axles in 2022—a buyer should inspect the entire suspension system thoroughly, including springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or cracking. The 2022 tyre advisories indicate possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that may have contributed to uneven wear, even if corrected since. While brakes were not flagged recently, older vehicles like this often develop binding calipers or worn discs over time, so a check of brake condition and fluid is prudent. Any visible corrosion on structural points, especially near former defect locations like the exhaust mounts or suspension turrets, should also be examined, particularly if used in high-salt environments.
