2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FD64 VTP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 August 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears to be improving significantly. While the records from 2021 and 2022 indicate a period of neglect regarding essential consumables, specifically tyres and braking components, the subsequent three years of clean passes suggest that the vehicle is now being maintained more diligently and is currently in a stable condition. With a recorded mileage of 120,743 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,977 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a car of this age and type. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage implies that the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to standard wear. Prospective buyers should anticipate that high-wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts may be approaching the end of their optimal service life. Given the history of dangerous tyre tread depth and edge wear recorded in 2021 and 2022, it is imperative to inspect the current tyres for uneven wear patterns. Such patterns often point to underlying issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate failing bushings or shock absorbers. Additionally, the previous advisories regarding thin brake pads and worn discs necessitate a thorough check of the current braking system; feel for any shuddering through the pedal or audible grinding during deceleration. Beyond the MOT history, the buyer should verify the service record to ensure calendar-based maintenance has been adhered to, particularly regarding engine oil and coolant changes, as fluid degradation occurs regardless of mileage. At this mileage, it is advisable to check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the 12V battery is holding a stable charge. Finally, confirm that all electrical components, including the previously failed side repeater, are fully operational and that there is no evidence of structural corrosion on the underbody or sills.
