2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SN11 HWH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural and brake line integrity. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 79,661 miles was a pass, the tester identified new critical issues that were not present in previous years. Specifically, the discovery of corroded brake pipes across all wheels, combined with new corrosion on the nearside front outer integral body structure and the sill, indicates that the rate of metal oxidation is accelerating despite the vehicle not yet reaching the point of structural failure. At 79,661 miles, this Yaris has covered relatively low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,100 miles driven between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 3,600 miles before the August 2025 inspection. However, the low mileage has not protected the vehicle from environmental degradation, suggesting the car may be stored in a damp environment or used in conditions that accelerate corrosion. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame and MacPherson struts, as these components have been flagged for corrosion since at least 2023. The 2024 failure revealed excessively worn bushes in the front suspension arms, which were replaced, but the remaining components should be checked for play or further wear. Special attention is required for the brake pipework; the 2025 report noted corrosion covered by grease, which often masks significant thinning of the metal that could lead to a sudden hydraulic failure if not replaced..
