2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · SX19 KPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding front suspension and rubber components. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 41,689 miles identified surface corrosion on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms, the vehicle passed as the metal was not yet structurally weakened. This follows reports of worn bushes in 2024, indicating that the front end assembly is beginning to show age-related degradation. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a period of higher activity between February 2024 at 24,920 miles and February 2025 at 30,926 miles, followed by a more recent rate of travel. This low usage often explains the perishing and cracking of tyre sidewalls noted in multiple tests, as rubber components tend to degrade through time and lack of movement rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and assess the depth of the corrosion on the lower arms. The 2024 failure for worn rear bushes and the 2026 advisory for corroded arms suggest the rubber and hardware are reaching the end of their functional life. Additionally, the inner sidewalls of all tyres should be checked for further cracking, as the record consistently flags perishing rubber across three different testing years despite the low overall mileage.
