2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WF10 MPU

The 2010 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 March 2026 at 44,055 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 6 March 2025 at 42,306 miles shows a failed entry with no defects listed, which typically indicates a retest following a previous advisory or minor issue resolved before the same-day pass at 42,308 miles. Every other recorded test, stretching back to 3 March 2023 at 38,820 miles, passed without advisories or failures. This is an unusually clean record for a sixteen-year-old vehicle and suggests consistent, attentive upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage profile reinforces that picture of careful use. Across roughly three years of documented history, the car accumulated approximately 5,235 miles, averaging around 1,745 miles annually during the recorded period. The broader lifetime figure of 2,753 miles per year over sixteen years is notably low for a supermini of this age. The gap between the March 2023 test at 38,820 miles and the March 2025 test at 42,308 miles shows a steady, gradual accumulation of 3,488 miles over two years with no sudden spikes. There are no suspicious mileage reversals or large undocumented gaps that would raise concern about odometer tampering or prolonged standing. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and subframes, as these areas can deteriorate on older Yaris models even with low mileage. Check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for perishing or weeping, since rubber components age regardless of mileage. Examine the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and verify that the exhaust system is free from corrosion or leaks that could affect emissions compliance. Tyre condition and age should also be confirmed, as older tyres with adequate tread can still present a safety risk if the sidewalls show cracking or perishing.
