2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · VO15 FBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in late February 2026, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test at 51,594 miles showed a failure due to a worn offside rear tyre and an ineffective windscreen wiper. While the car passed immediately after these corrections, the recurring nature of these consumable faults suggests the owner only addresses defects when they threaten an MOT rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, this Toyota Yaris has covered a low mileage of approximately 4,690 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data shows consistent usage between tests, with only 2,765 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 2,583 miles in the eleven months leading up to the latest test. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system, as the March 2024 failure at 47,774 miles revealed pitted brake discs and dangerously thin pads. Although these were likely replaced, the presence of pitting often indicates the vehicle has sat for long periods or exposure to moisture. Furthermore, the recurring edge wear on the offside rear tyre noted in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush. A physical inspection should include checking the tyres for uneven wear patterns and ensuring the low-speed usage has not caused premature degradation of the suspension components or seals.
