2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EX65 NFJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in August 2025 at 112,056 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. While the history shows a pattern of neglecting minor components until they failed, the recent record suggests the current owner is now maintaining the vehicle to a required legal standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 79,630 miles in August 2022 to 112,056 miles in August 2025, representing an increase of roughly 32,400 miles over three years. This regular usage suggests the car has seen consistent road miles rather than long periods of sitting stationary, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber-based components and braking seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as this is a recurring failure point. The 2023 test at 90,543 miles flagged thin brake pads on both fronts, and the subsequent failure in 2024 at 101,696 miles confirmed the front pads were below the 1.5mm limit. Although these have been replaced, the buyer should check for uneven wear on the discs and inspect the brake calipers to ensure they are not sticking. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres indicates the previous owner may overlook age-related rubber degradation, so a check of the age and sidew condition of all tyres is essential.
