2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SL11 UJH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and fluid systems. While it passed the latest test in May 2026 at 114,355 miles, the record reveals widespread corrosion across the inner sills, rear floors, and seat belt anchorages. The previous failure in May 2025 due to a leaking brake pipe and significant brake imbalance suggests that while reactive repairs are made, the underlying issue of component degradation is not being proactively addressed. The recorded mileage of 114,355 miles over 15 years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 12,000 miles between October 2023 (81,246 miles) and September 2024 (90,252 miles), followed by a period of more frequent use. This steady accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age, yet the frequency of advisories suggests that the environment has significantly impacted the metal components over time. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and suspension mounting points, as the tester has repeatedly flagged corrosion in these areas. The presence of plastic sill covers previously noted in 2024 is a concern as these can serve to hide advanced rot from inspectors. Specific attention is also required for the brake pipes and hoses; the history of corrosion, grease covering, and leaks indicates the hydraulic system is nearing the end of its functional life. The front suspension bushes and wishbone arms have shown a history of wear and debonding that will require monitoring to ensure steering remains stable.
