2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · SP70 VLU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend regarding the front braking system. While the most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 26,573 miles noted the front brake discs were worn, the vehicle passed without major failures. This follows a consistent pattern seen in the 2024 and 2023 tests where the discs were flagged for being pitted or scored but remained within acceptable limits. The mileage profile indicates a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year over its six-year life. Between the September 2023 test at 14,284 miles and the October 2024 test at 20,305 miles, the car covered 6,021 miles, representing a slight spike in usage compared to the annual average. The low annual mileage often correlates with surface corrosion and pitting on brake components, as the discs may not frequently generate enough heat or friction to prevent oxidation during long periods. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front brake rotors and calipers to check for deep corrosion. The recurring mentions of pitting and scoring across three consecutive years suggest the discs are be sitting for long periods or reaching the end of their functional life. Beyond the brakes, verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and tyres, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from material degradation or flat spotting that standard MOT tests do not always capture.
