2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU60 WYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive ownership pattern rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 152,170 miles passed with minor defects, specifically a broken headlight fixing and a worn offside rear tyre. However, the preceding year showed a trend of significant failures, particularly in January 2025 where multiple suspension and exhaust issues were identified, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure. At 152,170 miles over 15 years, the Yaris averages approximately 10,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 10,800 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation indicates regular use but explains the wear observed on rubber components and mechanical assemblies. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the record repeatedly flags deteriorated ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar joints between 2024 and 2025. These rubber seals, if left unaddressed, lead to premature wear of the ball joints themselves. The MOT history also highlights recurring issues with tyre management, including mismatched sizes noted in 2024 and perishing or uneven wear noted in subsequent tests. The buyer should also check the exhaust system for signs of structural corrosion and ensure the major leak reported in early 2025 has been properly rectified rather than merely patched.
