2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · RO11 OKM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 28,013 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical compliance, yet it reveals a recurring pattern of age-related degradation. While the car passes without major failures, the latest advisory regarding multiple perished and cracked rear tyres indicates that rubber components are failing due to age rather than tread depth. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,868 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, moving from 16,972 miles in June 2022 to 28,013 miles in May 2026. This level of low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it explains the premature deterioration of rubber-based parts which suffer when a vehicle sits for long periods without regular use. A physical inspection must focus on the condition of the dry rot and suspension components. The 2024 failure for perished rear tyre sidewalls and the 2026 advisory for cracking and perishing tyres suggest the rubber are reaching the end of their structural life regardless of remaining tread. You should also inspect the nearside front coil spring, which was flagged for corrosion in 2022. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake caliper seizing or surface rust, as these are common issues on vehicles that are infrequently driven.
