2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · LD20 EJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While the car enjoyed three consecutive years of clean records, the most recent test on March 16 2026 at 68,289 miles resulted in a failure followed by a pass. This shift from a zero-defect history in 2025 to multiple failure-related faults today suggests that the previous owner has neglected basic consumable checks and minor repairs until the MOT inspection deadline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 15,481 miles in March 2023 to 46,001 miles in March 2025, followed by a further 22,288 miles leading into the 2026 test. This consistent usage indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, though the 22,000 miles recorded in the last twelve months likely contributed to the accelerated wear on rubber components and tyre tread identified in the latest report. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically, as the 2026 test flagged worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides. Although these did not result in a failure, they will require replacement soon to prevent handling issues or uneven tyre wear. The record also highlights perishing on the rear tyres and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit, indicating that a full set of tyres is nearing the end of its functional life. The windscreen damage should be monitored to ensure the crack does not spread into the driver's field of vision.
