Our Verdict
This 2011 Toyota Yaris is a sensible cit
The Yaris is one of the more dependable small cars on the used market, but this particular example needs careful inspection of the suspension. The 2024 failure for corroded coil springs on both axles is significant — coil springs are a wear item, and corrosion on both front and rear units at once suggests the underbody has been exposed to road salt or harsh conditions. Ask whether both spring pairs were replaced at the time of the failure, and check the current condition visually on a ramp if possible.
Negotiation should focus on the cost of any remaining suspension work. Even though the last two MOTs are clean, coil spring corrosion can reappear if the underbody protection has not been improved. Inspect the rear tyres too — the 2023 test noted perishing and edge wear on both rear tyres, which could indicate alignment issues or simply age-related rubber deterioration.
Service history should be requested in full. Toyota Yaris engines are robust but the 1.33 petrol unit benefits from regular oil changes every 12 months or 10,000 miles. A gap in service stamps could justify a price reduction to cover imminent maintenance such as cambelt checks, coolant, and brake fluid renewal.
The 1.33-litre petrol Yaris is economical, typically returning 45-55 mpg in mixed driving, and falls into a low road tax bracket thanks to its modest CO2 output. Insurance is also affordable — the Yaris sits in a low insurance group, making it appealing for younger or budget-conscious drivers.
Routine maintenance is generally inexpensive, with parts readily available and most independent garages familiar with the model. Typical annual costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing should fall in the region of £1,500-£1,900, assuming moderate mileage.
The main variable cost concern is the suspension work flagged in 2024. Replacing a pair of coil springs typically costs £150-£300 fitted, so factor this in if the work has not already been done. Otherwise, consumables like tyres, brakes, and clutches are standard small-car pricing.
Based on the MOT history, the priority inspection points are the front and rear coil springs. Even though the 2025 and 2026 tests passed clean, visually inspect both axles for surface rust, cracking, or flaking. The 2024 failure noted corrosion on all four springs, so a thorough check underneath is essential — a torch and ramp inspection at a garage is recommended.
The 2024 test also flagged an offside front position lamp failure. Check that all exterior bulbs function correctly, including the front sidelights and number plate illumination. These are simple fixes but worth confirming have been properly resolved.
Finally, examine the rear tyres closely. The 2023 advisories for edge wear and cracking on both rear tyres could indicate either alignment issues (a four-wheel alignment check costs around £50-£70) or simply that the tyres were old. Check the current tyre condition and ask whether an alignment was carried out at the time of replacement.
This turquoise 1.33-litre petrol Toyota Yaris, first registered in October 2011, has covered 55,259 miles over nearly 15 years, which works out to roughly 3,700 miles annually — well below the model average of 5,637 miles per year. The MOT record shows five tests between 2023 and 2026, with four passes and one failure in July 2024 for corroded front and rear coil springs plus a faulty position lamp. The most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 passed with no advisories or defects, suggesting the suspension issue was addressed.
The Toyota Yaris is widely regarded as one of the more reliable small cars, though aggregate MOT data for this generation shows coil spring corrosion and anti-roll bar issues as recurring failure points, alongside tyre wear — consistent with what this vehicle has experienced.
