2015 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SN15 TNJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive under-care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 52,304 miles identified new concerns, specifically corrosion on both front Macpherson struts and binding on both rear service brakes. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of suspension and lighting faults across several years suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failing an MOT test. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 52,304 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,755 miles per year. This low-usage profile is consistent throughout the record, showing only 21,274 miles covered between February 2021 and February 2026. However, the low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, as evidenced by the repeated failures regarding suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints between 2023 and 2025. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the corrosion noted on the Macpherson struts is likely to progress into structural weakness if left untreated. The history of binding rear brakes, noted in both 2019 and 2026, indicates a tendency for the calipers to seize or pistons to corrode during periods of low use. Additionally, the repeated failure of the front suspension arm bushes in 2024 and 2025 suggests that these parts are nearing the end of their functional life and may require imminent replacement to ensure stable handling.
