2010 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · MM10 KVD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2026 at 64,686 miles. This test noted only a minor advisory for a deteriorated rear registration plate. Following a failure in 2023, the car has undergone three consecutive annual tests with no defects recorded, indicating a period of consistent maintenance. This suggests that previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained in a sound operating condition. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady, low-usage history, moving from 27,005 miles in 2014 to the current 64,686 miles in 2026. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluids. The lack of significant mileage spikes suggests predictable ownership patterns. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components due to historical recurring faults. The 2023 failure at 56,783 miles highlighted a binding and fluctuating nearside front brake, along with a perished anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. Although these were rectified, the buyer should verify there is no remaining caliper sticking or uneven disc wear by testing the brakes under load. Additionally, given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished hoses is essential, as these parts often degrade over time regardless of the miles driven.
