2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GP11 FNO

The 2011 Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 64,273 miles, though the maintenance trend is currently worsening rather than stable. The tester flagged multiple fresh advisories, including both front tyres worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, alongside perishing rear tyres. A significant structural concern emerged in this latest test, with the central rear exhaust mounting recorded as rusted and broken off. This indicates active corrosion in the undercarriage, contrasting with the otherwise mechanically sound results of previous years. Accumulating roughly 4,285 miles annually, the mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Records show a steady, incremental accumulation rather than rapid spikes or prolonged gaps, moving from 60,288 miles in February 2023 to 64,273 miles by February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests extended periods of standing, which directly explains the recurring and persistent tyre perishing observed across multiple tests. Light use has preserved mechanical components like brake discs, which were only noted as worn in February 2023, yet it has accelerated the degradation of rubber components. A physical inspection must prioritise the undercarriage and exhaust system due to the active corrosion flagged on the central rear exhaust mounting. The tester recorded the mounting as rusted and broken, raising concerns about the structural integrity of the exhaust system and potential further corrosion along the chassis or floor pans. Buyers should also thoroughly inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the record demonstrates a persistent failure to replace perished rubber despite repeated advisories since February 2023. The rear tyres have been heavily cracked since March 2024, and the front tyres have now degraded to the legal limit, suggesting basic preventative maintenance was neglected. Finally, a close check of the front brake discs is warranted following the wear advisory recorded at 60,288 miles, ensuring the low mileage has not led to surface rust or uneven wear from prolonged standing.
