2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · HK64 FVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 91,636 miles identified multiple advisories related to the front suspension and braking system. While the car passed, the presence of worn front suspension arm bushes, thin rear brake pads, and pitted discs indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where multiple wear-related components will require imminent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage intervals, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by another 5,600 miles leading into the January 2026 test. This regular mileage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components and brake hardware noted in the later entries. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the tester specifically flagged worn bushes on both lower suspension arms and a failed anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover in the 2025 test. These issues often lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if ignored. The rear braking system also requires scrutiny; pitted discs and thin pads combined with a fluctuating service brake on the nearside rear suggest the calipers may be sticking or the rotors are becoming thin. The 2023 failure for a structural tyre bulge highlights that the previous owner occasionally overlooked critical safety checks until a failure was forced.
