2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · LB67 WJM

A consistently strong record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the only notable interruption being a single failure in October 2023 due to worn braking components. Since that event, the mechanical trend has been stable and positive, culminating in a clean pass on 24 September 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous major wear items were rectified and the vehicle has remained in a healthy state of repair. Accumulating approximately 10,980 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan, the recorded 87,841 miles represents a typical usage profile for this vehicle type. This steady rate of use suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of stagnation. At this mileage interval, the vehicle is entering a phase where consumables and rubber components, such as suspension bushings and engine mounts, are more likely to exhibit standard wear. Given the 2023 failure for significantly worn front brake discs and thin pads, a test drive should focus on the current performance of the braking system. Feel for any pedal judder or vibrations through the steering wheel during deceleration, and listen for grinding or scraping sounds that could indicate premature wear or issues with the calipers. While the most recent tests were clean, the previous advisory regarding outer edge tyre wear on the nearside front suggests a potential historical alignment issue. Inspect the current front tyres specifically for uneven wear on the outer shoulders. During the test drive, ensure the vehicle tracks straight and does not pull to one side when the steering wheel is centered, as this would indicate a requirement for wheel alignment. Additionally, listen for any knocks or clunks from the front suspension when traversing uneven road surfaces, as the overall mileage makes the suspension arms and bushings prime candidates for a physical inspection.
