2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · GU18 ABO

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass on November 5, 2025, at 24,956 miles where no defects were recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the failure in the previous year. The most recent inspection indicates that the owner addressed the mechanical and consumable issues identified in earlier tests, returning the car to a standard of compliance without any flagged structural or mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,120 miles per year. The data shows periods of low usage, such as the 738-mile gap between February 2022 and November 2022. However, the low mileage often correlates with age-related rubber degradation rather than mechanical wear. The jump of 4,508 miles between November 2023 and November 2024 suggests a more recent increase in usage, which likely triggered the tyre-related failures noted during that period's test. A buyer should focus inspection on the condition of the tyres and wipers, as the 2024 failure highlighted heavy perishing on the nearside front and uneven wear across multiple tyres. Perishing is a common issue for low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods. While the 2025 pass suggests these were replaced, the current sidewalls should be checked for new cracking and consistent tread depth. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also verify the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as these components can suffer when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear surface rust.
