2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FN60 TYP

The most recent MOT test on 2 September 2025 shows a pass, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend regarding corrosion. While the test passed, the record shows a failure on 1 September 2025 due to an exhaust Lambda reading exceeding specified limits. The advisories from this most recent test mirror those from 2024 and 2023, indicating that several issues remain unaddressed. The vehicle has covered 41,577 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,599 miles per year. This represents low annual usage. The MOT records provided cover a four-year period from August 2022 to September 2025, showing consistent annual testing. The MOT history reveals persistent issues with the rear suspension and braking systems. Both nearside and offside rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion in every test since August 2022. Similarly, the nearside and offside rear brake pipes have been noted as corroded and covered in grease or other material since at least August 2022. The recurring nature of these advisories suggests that while the vehicle passes its tests, the underlying corrosion on these components has not been rectified. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly and the brake lines. The continued presence of corroded coil springs and brake pipes requires close scrutiny to determine the depth of the oxidation. The recent failure regarding exhaust emissions also warrants a check of the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter to ensure the previous failure was fully resolved.
