Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, prov
When viewing this specific red Yaris, check the condition of all four tyres, as the 2024 MOT failure noted two tyres with tread depth below the 1.6mm legal limit. You should also inspect the rear seat belt buckles to ensure they are not damaged, following the defect recorded in March 2024.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake work, as the 2023 MOT recorded pitted and scored front brake discs. Given the high mileage of 100,502, ensure that the service history supports regular oil changes for this small-capacity 998cc engine.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for economy, typically falling into a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for new drivers or budget-conscious commuters. Fuel economy on this model is generally efficient for urban environments.
Maintenance costs for a Yaris of this age are typically moderate, though you should budget for regular consumable replacements like tyres and brake discs, which have appeared in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £950-£1,200 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus on the exterior lighting and indicators; the 2024 and 2025 MOTs noted issues with the registration plate lamp and a headlamp coating issue. Ensure all side repeaters are secure and functional to avoid a repeat of the 2024 failure.
Check the tread depth on all tyres and look for any signs of uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues. Finally, inspect the front brake discs for any signs of heavy pitting or scoring, as this was an advisory in the 2023 test.
This 2011 Toyota Yaris features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 100,502 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,637 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing record. The MOT history shows a mix of minor defects and one significant failure in 2024 involving tyres and seat belts.
The Toyota Yaris shows a robust 80% average MOT pass rate across 470,311 analysed vehicles, with common failures relating to tyres and anti-roll bars.
