2010 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · MA10 XRW

A generally stable roadworthiness record is evident, characterized by predominantly clean passes and only minor failures related to lighting and wipers. While the test on 2025-12-29 was passed without defects, the preceding year showed a concentration of wear-related advisories involving tyres, braking components, and suspension linkages. This suggests a period of increased component wear that appears to have been addressed prior to the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 85,966 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,373 miles per year. This usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity long-distance travel, though low annual accumulation can sometimes lead to the premature degradation of rubber components or the development of surface corrosion due to periods of inactivity. Attention should be paid to the front suspension and braking system, as previous records flagged play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and wear on both front brake discs. During a test drive, listen for knocking or rattling sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which would indicate that the linkage play persists. The braking performance should be assessed for any pedal judder or uneven deceleration, which are common symptoms of worn or warped discs. The presence of a front lower oil leak in the 2024 record warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay and the ground beneath the vehicle. Check for fresh oil residue around the sump and gaskets, and be alert for any smell of burning oil during the test drive. While the most recent test was clean, confirming the resolution of this leak is essential to ensure there is no ongoing loss of lubricant.
