2011 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · RK61 OVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in September 2025 at 62,677 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability interrupted by a failure just two days prior to that pass. While the September 2025 failure initially identified a fractured nearside front coil spring and exhaust emissions issues linked to a leak and lambda sensor reading, the subsequent pass indicates these specific mechanical faults were rectified. The vehicle now meets the minimum legal standard. At 62,677 miles, this 2011 Yaris has averaged approximately 4,178 miles per year over its life. This low usage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile vehicles. The data shows consistent annual testing, with only roughly 1,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low annual mileage often indicates a vehicle that sits for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from use. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension and all rubber-based parts, as the 2024 test flagged perishing on the offside front tyre and the 2025 failure involved a broken coil spring. These issues suggest that age and environmental exposure are causing more damage than the distance driven. Check the exhaust system specifically the rear silencer to ensure the leak that caused the 2025 emissions failure has been properly sealed and not merely patched. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is also essential, as low mileage does not prevent structural rust over fifteen years.
