2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FN60 XSR

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded a pass with two minor issues: front suspension arm bush wear (not causing excessive movement) and a slightly damaged rear tyre. These align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, suggesting ongoing wear in suspension components. The vehicle’s 102,499 miles at 16 years old equate to roughly 6,406 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This mileage suggests moderate use without extreme under- or over-usage, though it does not confirm the vehicle’s maintenance history. A pattern of suspension-related defects emerges, particularly involving front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar dust covers. These were noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOTs, with some issues reappearing even after repairs. For example, the nearside front anti-roll bar dust cover was described as “severely deteriorated” in 2024, and a similar issue was flagged in 2026. This indicates potential ongoing wear or insufficient repairs. Tyre-related issues also recur, including damaged tyres and tread depth near legal limits, which may reflect alignment problems or general wear. The trend shows some stability rather than clear worsening.
