2015 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · SL15 LXT

The 2015 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 December 2025 at 77,215 miles with zero defects. That result marks a significant turnaround from the failed test on 13 April 2024 at 63,994 miles, where both headlamp units failed on dipped and main beam alongside a washer reservoir issue. The subsequent April 2024 pass at 64,323 miles confirms those electrical faults were promptly rectified within eleven days. The most recent test, now over six months old as of June 2026, shows no new advisories, indicating the vehicle has remained in sound mechanical order through late 2025. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,020 miles per year sits squarely within typical use for an eleven-year-old supermini. The progression from 56,745 miles in April 2023 to 77,215 miles by December 2025 reflects consistent, steady use rather than long periods of dormancy or sudden high-mileage bursts. No anomalous gaps appear in the record, and the annual testing pattern suggests a single regular keeper or at least a disciplined approach to compliance. Prospective buyers should still inspect the front suspension arms closely. The April 2025 test at 73,364 miles flagged corrosion on both nearside and offside front suspension arms, noted as not seriously weakened at that time but warranting ongoing monitoring given the vehicle's age. The front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in April 2023 at 56,745 miles, and by the time of the clean December 2025 test those discs had evidently been replaced, though confirming the quality of that replacement work is advisable. Tyre wear has been a recurring theme across multiple tests, with both nearside and offside rear tyres appearing on the April 2025 advisory and nearside front wear noted in April 2024. This pattern suggests alignment or suspension geometry may deserve a four-wheel tracking check. The headlamp failures in April 2024 were resolved, but a quick operational check of all lighting functions remains prudent given the nature of the original defect.
