2015 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YY15 AOC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 36,864 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable but shows a transition toward requiring wear-related attention. While the car passed without defects for two consecutive years previously, the most recent test flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase where routine component replacement is necessary to prevent mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,350 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only 4,324 miles covered between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. While low mileage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components through age. The 2022 advisory regarding perishing and cracking rear tyres suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to age-related failure rather than tread wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the March 2026 record confirms both discs and pads are nearing their limit. The 2025 test also noted inner edge wear on both front tyres, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect inflation pressures rather than simple mileage. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre perishing, a thorough check of all sidewalls for dry-rotacking and glazing is essential, as these components lose structural integrity over time regardless of tread depth.
