2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WM65 HFK

Verdict for a 2015 Toyota Yaris – 87,703 mi The most recent MOT (17 December 2025) was a pass, but it flagged a slightly damaged or cracking nearside front tyre. This is the only defect recorded on that test. The previous year’s MOT (9 December 2024) also passed but highlighted worn front suspension arm pins/bushes with cracking on both sides. Earlier tests (2023 and 2022) were clean, apart from a single failure in December 2022 for a non‑functioning tyre‑pressure monitoring system. The pattern that emerges is a focus on front‑end components – first the suspension bush wear, now tyre surface deterioration. Both are typical wear items on a vehicle that has been driven roughly 8 000 mi per year, which is average for a car of this age. The mileage itself does not point to excessive hard use, but it also does not guarantee that the car has been idle for long periods; the wear on the front tyre suggests the tyres have been subjected to normal road loads. Overall the condition trend appears stable : after the 2022 TPMS failure the vehicle passed two consecutive MOTs, and the only new issue is mild tyre damage. There is no evidence of a worsening safety problem beyond the usual consumable wear. What to inspect first - Front tyre condition – check the nearside front tyre for cracking, tread depth and any sidewall damage.
