2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EX65 NFH

The 2015 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 September 2025 at 96,611 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding failure on 23 September 2025 at the same mileage was a minor lighting issue, specifically incompatible headlamp light sources on both the offside and nearside, which was rectified within 24 hours. This swift correction suggests attentive ownership rather than neglect. The vehicle has not presented any structural, mechanical, or braking defects across the available record, which is a positive indicator of underlying condition. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the September 2024 pass at 86,679 miles and the September 2025 tests at 96,611 miles, the car covered approximately 9,932 miles in twelve months, slightly above the annualised average of 8,783 miles typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Earlier intervals show a similar pattern: roughly 8,689 miles were added between October 2023 at 77,990 miles and September 2024 at 86,679 miles. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or rapid accumulations that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The annual mileage profile is steady and unremarkable in the best sense. The only recurring theme in the defect history relates to tyre wear. In October 2023, the offside front tyre failed with tread depth below the 1.6mm legal minimum, and the nearside front tyre was flagged as worn close to the legal limit on the same date. Both issues were resolved by the retest later that day. This pattern of uneven front tyre wear, particularly edge wear, warrants a close in-person inspection of the front suspension geometry. A buyer should check the condition of the front suspension bushes, tracking alignment, and coil springs, as misalignment is the most common cause of premature and uneven tyre wear on this platform. Beyond tyres, the absence of any advisories or failures relating to brake components, exhaust emissions, steering, or structural corrosion across four consecutive test cycles is encouraging. Still, a prospective buyer should physically inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, verify the condition of all brake discs and pads, and confirm that both headlamps are functioning on main and dipped beam with compatible bulbs matching the original specification. The clean MOT record supports a well-maintained vehicle, but a hands-on inspection remains essential before purchase.
