2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · LP69 GZM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension-related wear issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 53,631 miles flagged worn arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. While these defects did not result in a failure, they represent a progression from the previous clean record, indicating that rubber components are now reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The car covered 15,919 miles between the December 2023 and November 2024 tests, and 10,266 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left to sit for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal degradation of brake components and seals, despite the noted wear on consumables. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry to determine the extent of the arm bush wear noted in late 2025. The buyer should check for play in the control arms and listen for knocking noises over uneven surfaces, as worn bushes can lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear. The advisory for the deteriorated rear registration plate across 2024 and 2025 suggests the plate requires replacement to avoid future re-test failure. Furthermore, the history of a worn offside front tyre in late 2023 warrants a thorough check of the current tyre tread to ensure an alignment issue has not caused premature scubbing. Since no structural corrosion or brake failures have appeared in the records, the primary mechanical concerns are limited to these routine wear items and basic exterior trim maintenance.
