2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · KV10 LDN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 139,425 miles passed, it carried multiple significant advisories that mirror failures from October of the same year. The persistent presence of fluctuating front service brakes and worn discs across several tests indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its functional life and has not been comprehensively overhauled despite being flagged as a recurring concern. At 139,425 miles, this 16-year-old Toyota averages approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for its age. However, the data reveals a significant spike in activity between April 2024 (93,688 miles) and November 2025 (139,425 miles), representing over 45,000 miles driven in just eighteen months. This rapid accumulation has accelerated the stress on aging components, which aligns with the increasing deterioration of the suspension and braking hardware noted. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage and front braking assembly. The record consistently notes general underbody corrosion and surface rust, which requires a close look to ensure structural integrity is not compromised. Furthermore, the corroded brake pipe noted in late 2025 is a critical concern as the grease covering likely hides the true extent of the metal decay. The recurring front oil leak, while currently non-excessive, should be monitored to determine if it originates from a simple seal or a more costly engine failure.
