2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GD65 GFG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 27,247 miles flagged front tyres worn to the legal limit and a perished offside rear tyre. While the car passes annually, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories suggests the previous owner only addresses components once they reach failure thresholds rather than performing routine preventative replacements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2015 registration, averaging only approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered just 9,220 miles. This low usage explains the lack of significant wear on the drivetrain, but it also increases the risk of rubber degradation. The repeated cracking and perishing of tyres between 2022 and 2025 are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits for long periods, despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system closely, as the records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly highlight thin front brake pads and lipped discs. Given the low mileage, these components may have suffered from surface corrosion or seizing during periods of inactivity. The physical inspection should check for binding calipers and the condition of the suspension bushes, which low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot. The age of all four tyres should also be verified for sidewall cracking, as the history indicates the rubber compound is failing due to age rather than distance driven.
