2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FA02 ASO

The 2022‑10‑19 MOT at 88,078 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, yet recurring anti‑roll bar linkage wear, suspension mounting corrosion and steering arm play indicate a stable but not improving maintenance trend. At 24 years old, the vehicle has accumulated 88,078 miles, roughly 3,670 miles per year, which is low for its age; however mileage has risen markedly from the 2020‑10‑21 test at 69,553 miles to the 2022‑10‑19 test at 88,078 miles, showing increased usage in the past three years. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension components—including anti‑roll bar bushes, mounting brackets and steering arm inner joints—check the rear brake system for binding or excessive wear, examine the floor, chassis and suspension mounting areas for structural rust, verify tyre tread depth and side‑wall integrity, and assess headlamp lenses and brake disc condition, as these items have repeatedly appeared as defects.
