2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · S5 FDS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in March 2026 at 32,035 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect scores to reactive repairs in recent months. While the car held clean records between 2022 and 2024, the two most recent tests indicate a developing pattern of component wear and deferred maintenance. This suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults once they trigger an inspection failure rather than performing preventative upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 10,215 miles, which remains consistent with low-usage patterns. This low mileage explains the specific mechanical issues seen in the record. The perishing and cracking of the nearside rear tyre noted in both 2025 and 2026 are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods, allowing rubber compounds to age and dehydrate despite the low distance traveled. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The record shows a persistent issue of pitting and scoring on multiple brake discs dating back to 2025 and persisting into 2026. This corrosion often occurs when brakes are not used frequently enough to clear debris from the rotors. Furthermore, the fractured offside front coil spring in early 2025 indicates that the suspension may be under stress or age. The buyer should check all springs for signs of fatigue and ensure the front tyres have been recently replaced, as the 2026 test flagged them as being near the legal limit.
