2015 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · ST64 UGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on September 8, 2025. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability interrupted by a recent mechanical failure that was addressed and resolved. At 58,062 miles, the tester identified an excessively worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush and slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing. The fact that these faults were rectified to achieve a clean pass immediately later suggests the owner is reactive to safety-critical defects. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,280 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2024 at 42,995 miles and September 2025 at 58,076 miles, representing over 15,000 miles in a single year. This sudden increase in activity likely triggered the wear observed on the suspension components. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to infrequent use. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs to the offside arm were completed to a professional standard and that no secondary damage exists in adjacent bushings. The rear wheel bearing should also be checked for any residual noise or lateral movement to confirm the play was fully eliminated. Given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, a close look for surface corrosion on the brake discs and underbody is advisable, as these are common issues for cars that sit for long periods.
