2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · KM65 RUC

Overall roadworthiness appears solid, with the majority of MOTs returning a pass and no defects recorded, but the record is punctuated by two isolated failures: a tyre‑pressure‑monitoring system fault in late 2025 and a pair of front‑lamp failures in 2023. Both issues were rectified quickly, as evidenced by a clean pass the day after the TPMS failure and a subsequent pass after the lighting fault, indicating that the vehicle’s core systems have generally remained compliant. At 93,974 mi over roughly eleven years the average annual mileage sits around 8,500 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a small hatchback. There are no significant gaps in the testing chronology, suggesting the odometer reading reflects steady, regular use rather than prolonged storage. This mileage level points to normal wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components, but does not alone imply premature failure of major drivetrain elements. Prospective buyers should verify that the tyre‑pressure‑monitoring system is fully operational; a warning light on the dashboard or intermittent TPMS alerts would indicate lingering faults. The front‑right headlamp and position lamp should be inspected for proper illumination and secure wiring, as a repeat failure could re‑appear if the underlying cause was not fully resolved. Front tyre tread depth must be measured – the repeated advisories in 2021, 2023 and 2025 show the front tyres were already close to the legal limit, so replacement may be imminent. While driving, listen for any thumping or vibration that could signal uneven tyre wear or worn suspension bushes, and feel for any pull to one side that might hint at alignment issues. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection should concentrate on the electrical circuits for the front lighting and TPMS sensors, confirm that the front tyres meet minimum tread depth, and examine the condition of the front suspension, brake pads and discs for typical wear at this mileage. Ensuring these items are in order will address the only recurring concerns shown in the MOT history and provide a clearer picture of the car’s current mechanical state.
