2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MJ11 UST

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 83,662 miles was a pass, the initial failure due to an ABS warning lamp indicates that a critical safety system was only addressed immediately before the inspection deadline. The overall trend is somewhat erratic, as the car consistently fails on minor or moderate mechanical faults only to be rectified for the subsequent re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,577 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with only 1,076 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and roughly 5,391 miles in the preceding year. This low-mileage status suggests the engine and drivetrain have low stress, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading or seals seizing if the car has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the components flagged in previous failures. The October 2024 failure noted a rough nearside rear wheel bearing, which suggests potential wear in the hub assembly that should be monitored for play or noise. The ABS fault recorded in 2025 requires a diagnostic check to ensure the sensor or module was properly repaired rather than just cleared of a code. Additionally, the condition of the nearside wiper arm and the windscreen, both previously noted as ineffective, should be verified to ensure that the low-mileage use has not led to seized linkages or perished wiper blades.
