2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · GV09 HSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on December 4 2025 at 93,153 miles passed after an initial failure due to a non-functional position lamp and front suspension component wear. While the car passed following these repairs, the presence of worn suspension arm bushes indicates that rubber components in the chassis are beginning to reach the end of their operational life. At 93,153 miles over 17 years, this Yaris reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between the January 2024 and December 2024 tests, another 3,000 miles recorded between December 2024 and December 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age degradation of rubber parts and seized mechanical components, which aligns with the suspension issues noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry personally, as the December 2025 test flagged worn pins or bushes on both sides. Although the tester did not find excessive movement at that time, these components will require replacement to prevent poor handling and uneven tyre wear. Additionally, ensure the rear seat belts are functional, as the tester was unable to verify them in December 2024 because the seats were folded. This represents a significant safety oversight that must be confirmed before purchase.
