2010 Toyota Yaris TR VVT-I 1.3L Petrol · JIG 4002

The 2010 Toyota Yaris TR VVT-i presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 16 March 2024 at 112,571 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 8 February 2023 test at 102,405 miles, also with no advisories. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five available entries, indicating consistent compliance rather than a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,036 miles per year against the recorded 112,571 miles. The records show a steady climb: 80,174 miles on 21 October 2019, 93,988 miles on 9 November 2021, then 102,063 miles at the failed test on 1 February 2023. A short gap exists between the 2021 and 2023 entries, but the 10,000-mile rise over that period is unremarkable. The single failure on 1 February 2023 at 102,063 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than neglected upkeep, with the car passing seven days later. Given the clean advisory history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-related wear points not always captured in a pass result. Rubber suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc corrosion warrant physical checks given the vehicle's 2010 build date and outdoor exposure over sixteen years. Exhaust emissions and underbody structural integrity should be examined for rust, particularly around sills and subframes, as the MOT record offers no visibility of such once a pass is issued. The absence of tyre, wiper, or binding caliper advisories across the timeline implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. A pre-purchase check remains prudent to confirm the 2024 pass reflects genuine condition rather than a lapse in tester scrutiny on a low-use hatchback.
