2010 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · GV60 EBK

The vehicle currently fails MOT inspection at 2026-06-18, with the most recent record from 2025-12-23 showing a failure of the nearside front coil spring and bulging rear tyre. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT since the September 2023 test at 60,749 miles, creating a gap of approximately three years of untested driving conditions. The failure of the spring and tyre bulge suggests that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical suspension and braking components since the last inspection, which is a clear sign of a deteriorating maintenance trend rather than a stable one. Mileage accumulation is evident, with the vehicle averaging roughly 4,775 miles per year despite being only 16 years old. The rapid increase in recorded mileage from 66,477 miles in January 2024 to 76,401 miles in December 2023 implies that the vehicle has been driven for a substantial period, likely between 2024 and 2025, without any regular servicing. Such a high mileage rate in this age class is concerning, as it suggests that the vehicle may have been used for extended periods with minimal maintenance, increasing the risk of wear on brake discs, suspension parts, and drivetrain components. Given the recurring faults and the gap in MOT records, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The most critical areas to check are the suspension bushings, coil springs, brake discs, and brake pads, as the spring failure and tyre bulge indicate that these components are no longer in good condition. The buyer must also verify that the brake system has been serviced at least every 1,000 miles, as the thin brake pad and worn disc suggest that the braking force has dropped significantly. If the vehicle is driven frequently, the risk of catastrophic failure in the suspension and braking system is high, necessitating a full roadworthiness check to ensure the vehicle can safely operate.
