2011 Toyota Yaris Vitz 1.5L Petrol · KS61 WFN

The 2011 Toyota Yaris Vitz presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 15 May 2026 at 62,964 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test is less than six weeks old, making it a highly current snapshot of the vehicle's condition. Prior to this, the record shows a cluster of faults addressed between April and May 2025, after which the car has passed cleanly on two consecutive occasions. This pattern suggests the previous owner corrected outstanding issues promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,198 miles per year. Between the May 2024 pass at 49,900 miles and the April 2025 failure at 61,152 miles, approximately 11,250 miles were covered in under twelve months, indicating a period of heavier use after a quieter phase. The jump from 49,900 to 61,152 miles is significant and worth verifying against service records, though the subsequent tests at 61,400 and 62,964 miles show a return to modest accumulation. No glaring gaps appear in the MOT schedule itself, with annual tests filed consistently each spring. The April 2025 failure flagged deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers on the offside front, which points to perished rubber boots that can accelerate joint wear if left unaddressed. The fact that this did not reappear in the May 2025 or May 2026 tests implies the linkage or its boot was replaced. Headlamp levelling devices and a registration plate lamp were also flagged in 2025, both of which were evidently repaired before the retest. Buyers should still inspect the headlamp aim and levelling function on the road, along with the condition of all anti-roll bar linkages and their dust covers, to confirm the repairs were done properly rather than simply having codes cleared. Brake pads appeared as wearing thin in both May 2024 tests, meaning the pads were replaced at some point after that date. Given the relatively low mileage since then, the current pads should have plenty of life remaining, but a visual check of pad thickness and disc condition is still prudent. The windscreen washer fault from April 2024 was minor and likely resolved by topping up fluid or replacing a worn pump or pipe. Overall, the mechanical picture is encouraging, with no recurring structural or corrosion-related advisories in the record. A brief test drive focusing on suspension clunks over rough surfaces and brake feel under moderate and firm stopping will confirm that the documented repairs have held up.
