2009 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LR59 RYZ

A recurring pattern of fuel system corrosion and inconsistent tyre maintenance defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, although the most recent records indicate a period of stability. The test on 2026-07-16 resulted in a pass with no defects, matching the clean outcome of the 2025 test. This follows a more volatile period between 2020 and 2024, where the vehicle suffered multiple failures for dangerous tyre tread depths and repeated advisories regarding the corrosion of the fuel tank filler neck pipe. The recorded mileage of 78,053 miles over 17 years represents a low annual average of approximately 4,591 miles. This usage profile often correlates with the types of defects seen in this vehicle's history, where rubber components perish and corrosion develops due to prolonged periods of inactivity or short-distance use. The specific mentions of cracking tyres and filler pipe rust are consistent with a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary. Prospective buyers should specifically investigate the status of the fuel tank filler neck pipe, as corrosion was flagged in four separate tests between 2020 and 2024. It must be determined if this component was replaced or if the corrosion remains present but below the failure threshold. Additionally, the front brake discs were recorded as worn, pitted, or scored in 2024. During a test drive, any pulsation or judder felt through the brake pedal would indicate that the discs remain in a degraded state. The history of dangerous tyre failures and advisories for perishing rubber, particularly on the offside rear, requires a thorough physical inspection of all tyre sidewalls and treads. Check for hairline cracks and ensure there is no uneven wear on the inner edges, which was previously noted. Verifying the current condition of the tyres is essential to ensure they have not perished despite having remaining tread.
