Our Verdict
This 2015 Toyota Yaris with the 1.33-lit
Given the September 2025 MOT failure was driven entirely by tyre condition — both rear tyres perished and nearside front below the 1.6mm legal tread — make replacing all four tyres a precondition of any purchase or negotiate the cost into the asking price. The advisories across 2022, 2023 and 2025 for nearside front tyre edge wear suggest a possible tracking or suspension geometry issue worth inspecting; ask the seller whether the tracking has been checked recently. The recurring central stop lamp advisories in 2022 and 2024 (non-working lamp in 2022, reduced intensity in 2024) suggest a bulb holder or wiring fault rather than a single failed bulb — a cheap fix but worth confirming it has been properly resolved. Request any service history available, particularly evidence of cambelt or timing chain inspection, though the 1.33 1NR-FE engine is chain-driven and should not require cambelt replacement.
The 1.33-litre petrol Yaris is among the most economical small cars on sale, with combined fuel economy typically in the mid-50s mpg and road tax of £35 per year given its sub-1.4-litre petrol classification and post-2001 registration. Insurance falls into group 6-8 depending on trim, keeping premiums low for most drivers. Routine maintenance is inexpensive — parts are widely available and labour charges at independents are modest. Estimated annual running cost is £800-£1,200 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing, assuming average mileage.
Inspect all four tyres for age-related perishing, particularly on the rear axle where cracking was flagged at the latest test — tyres over five years old should be replaced regardless of tread depth. Examine the nearside front wheel for uneven inner or outer edge wear, which could indicate worn suspension components, tracking misalignment or a failing top mount. Test the high-level (central) stop lamp to confirm it illuminates at full brightness, as the 2024 advisory flagged reduced intensity and a similar item failed outright in 2022. Carry out a thorough underside check on a ramp given that corrosion is the single most common Yaris MOT failure reason according to aggregate data, even though this particular car has not yet shown such issues. Finally, check the alloy wheels for kerb damage and verify the spare tyre or repair kit is present.
This silver 2015 Toyota Yaris 1.33 petrol has covered just 15,855 miles over more than ten years, averaging roughly 1,500 miles per year — well below the Toyota Yaris model average of 5,637 miles annually. Four of five recorded MOT tests have been passes, with one fail in September 2025 linked entirely to tyre condition rather than mechanical defects. The 1.33-litre petrol unit is a proven, chain-driven engine widely used across the Toyota range. Overall, the record is clean of corrosion, anti-roll bar or structural concerns — the three most common Yaris failure categories across the 470,311 vehicles analysed.
Across 470,311 Toyota Yaris vehicles analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 80.0%, with corrosion, anti-roll bar and tyre condition being the top three failure reasons. This particular car's record shows none of these structural concerns, sitting comfortably above the model's general reliability baseline.
