2013 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MW62 CFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding rubber components and suspension integrity. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 55,487 miles passed, the tester identified worn nearside front suspension arm bushes and a badly worn rear wishbone bush. This follows a pattern of mechanical wear noted in previous years, suggesting that while the car remains operational, the components are suffering from age-related degradation rather than high-mile stress. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,268 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2022 and February 2023, where the car covered only 2,663 miles, followed by a more active period of 27,665 miles between early 2023 and early 2026. This erratic usage pattern explains the recurring issues with perished tyres, as rubber components tend to dry out and crack when a vehicle sits for long periods regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and lower underbody. The 2024 test flagged corroded metal brake pipes covered in grease, which requires a close look to ensure corrosion has not progressed beyond surface levels. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for cracked and perished rear tyres across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate that the owner has neglected basic rubber replacement until they became failures. The front suspension wishbones should be checked for play, as the most recent report confirms the bushes are reaching the end of their functional life.
