2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · OV10 RYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 103,210 miles passed, the tester flagged a defective nearside windscreen wiper and a damaged nearside rear lamp assembly. This mirrors a failure in April 2025 where a fractured nearside front coil spring caused a rejection, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 85,346 miles and the April 2026 test at 103,210 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over two years. This steady usage suggests typical wear on the drivetrain components, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber seals and plastics are susceptible to degradation despite the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and lighting assemblies. The previous failure of a broken coil spring in 2025 indicates that suspension components may be reaching the end of their fatigue life, necessitating a check of the remaining springs and bushings for excessive play. Furthermore, the recurring issue of damaged nearside rear lamps and assemblies across 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggests a history of minor impacts or poor attention to exterior bodywork. Ensure all lighting units are securely mounted and free of moisture ingress to prevent electrical faults.
