2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YC11 NLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that shows signs of improvement following several mechanical failures. The most recent test in October 2025 at 70,763 miles passed without advisories, notably noting the undercarriage had been treated with underseal. This follows a difficult period in early 2025 where the car failed on multiple visibility and tyre issues, suggesting that the owner eventually addressed necessary safety defects once they were formally flagged. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,763 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,700 miles. This low usage pattern often benefits the drivetrain, but it can also mask the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. Between March 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 6,000 miles, which is a slight spike above its yearly average but likely accounts for the accelerated wear seen on the front tyres and the failure of the suspension ball joint recorded during that interval. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The March 2024 failure highlighted an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, and the March 2024 test also flagged pitted and scored brake discs. While these appear to have been addressed, the presence of pitting on discs suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, allowing surface corrosion. The February 2025 failure regarding exposed cords on the nearside front tyre indicates potential alignment issues or uneven wear that should be verified against the current tyre set to ensure they are not scrubbing prematurely.
