2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WF60 YVT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention regarding minor mechanical wear. The most recent test in December 2025 at 57,798 miles passed the inspection but introduced new advisories for front tyres worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern where the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has been flagged with a slight play for four consecutive years since 2022 without ever being replaced or rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 48,967 miles and December 2025 at 57,798 miles, the car covered only 8,831 miles. While this low usage suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age and inactivity, which likely explains the recurring suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, as the persistent play in the ball joint suggests the owner is ignoring minor faults. The advisories from the 2025 test regarding both front tyres being worn on the edge indicate a potential alignment issue or worn shocks that require immediate attention. Additionally, the damaged nearside rear valve stem noted in 2023 and 2024 should be checked for any signs of air leaks or pressure loss, despite it remaining stable over time.
