2010 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YF59 VBU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsatisfactory, as evidenced by a single MOT failure recorded on 2026-01-19 at 117,692 miles. This failure occurred immediately prior to the current date, indicating a significant lapse in maintenance that has not been corrected since the initial test on 2026-01-20. The failure on 2026-01-19 was driven by insufficient washer fluid, which suggests the vehicle has not been properly serviced for at least one year, despite the extensive mileage of 117,693 miles. The mileage profile reveals a pattern of rapid accumulation and a lack of regular maintenance, particularly concerning the suspension and braking components. The vehicle has accumulated over 16 years of service with only 117,693 miles recorded, averaging approximately 7,356 miles per year. This high mileage rate is characteristic of a vehicle that has been driven less frequently or has been stored for extended periods, leading to accelerated wear on suspension parts such as coil springs and bushings. The failure on 2025-02-14 specifically highlights structural integrity risks, noting that a coil spring fractured or was broken. This indicates that the vehicle has been driven for over two years and that the suspension system has deteriorated, likely due to improper handling or lack of periodic checks. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and braking system, including a fractured coil spring, a corroded brake pipe, and a worn front brake disc, the vehicle presents a serious risk of failure. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding calipers, the condition of the brake pads, and the integrity of the suspension components. The absence of a recent MOT certificate and the history of multiple failures suggest that the vehicle has not undergone a full service interval, making it unsafe to drive without immediate professional assessment.
