Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of a reliable mode
Focus your enquiry on the oil leak noted in the December 2025 MOT; ask for evidence of any repairs or professional assessments to determine the leak's source. You should also verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is now fully operational, as it was a cause for failure in late 2025.
Given the history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or showing cords, check the current tread depth and age of all four tyres. Ensure the service history is complete, as the MOT failures for brake pads and wheel bearings suggest that consumables may not have been replaced proactively.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments, keeping fuel costs relatively low. This model typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket, making it an economical choice for daily commuting.
Annual maintenance costs will be standard for a small petrol car, though the recent need for wheel bearings and brake pads suggests that the owner may be entering a cycle of replacing aged components. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the engine bay and underbody for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the December 2025 MOT. Check the rear tyres specifically for the 'cracking or perishing' noted in the latest advisories, as these will likely need immediate replacement regardless of tread depth.
Listen for any humming or droning noises from the rear of the vehicle during a test drive to ensure the offside rear wheel bearing replacement was performed correctly. Finally, check the brake pedal feel and inspect the front pads to ensure they are not nearing the 1.5mm limit seen in previous tests.
This red 2016 Toyota Yaris has covered 25,752 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. While the vehicle has passed its most recent MOT, the December 2025 test involved multiple failures including worn brake pads and a wheel bearing. The current record includes advisories for an oil leak and perishing rear tyres.
The Toyota Yaris has a solid reliability reputation with a 79.9% average MOT pass rate, although tyres are a frequent point of failure across the model range.
