2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YA64 XYT

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 91,043 miles passed, the record flagged a nearside rear tyre nearing the legal limit and a misting offside rear shock absorber. This shock absorber issue was first noted in the August 2024 test, indicating that the component has continued to degrade without replacement despite several thousand miles of subsequent travel. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a significant jump in mileage between August 2024 (78,855 miles) and December 2025 (91,043 miles), covering over 12,000 miles in just sixteen months. This period of increased use explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables, though the consistent annual testing intervals between 2022 and 2024 suggest the car was not subject to long periods of long-term storage. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The August 2024 test highlighted thin front inner brake pads, pitted front discs, and fluctuating offside front brakes, which suggests the front braking assembly is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the persistent misting on the offside rear shock absorber requires a check for significant leaks that could lead to sudden component failure. The recurring history of windscreen chips and cracked mirrors across multiple years indicates minor cosmetic neglect, but these issues do not appear to impact the structural integrity of the vehicle.
