Our Verdict
A solid candidate if priced fairly, with
Given the very low annual mileage recorded, ask the seller to explain how the car has been used — short urban trips only, second car, or garaged for long periods? Low-mileage cars can develop issues such as perished tyres (which this car's recent advisories hint at), stiff brakes, and dried-out rubber components from underuse. Check that all four tyres are of matching make, type, and tread depth, as the cracking advisories suggest they may be original or aged rubber. A pre-purchase inspection should pay particular attention to the front suspension, as one coil spring has already failed and a lower arm bush is showing wear. Use the 2022 coil spring failure as a negotiation point only if the seller cannot evidence the repair with an invoice, and confirm whether the front brake discs have been measured or replaced.
The Toyota Yaris 1.33 petrol is one of the most economical small cars on UK roads, typically returning 45-55 mpg in real-world driving, depending on use. Insurance is usually group 7-9, keeping premiums modest for most drivers. Road tax sits in a low band for a petrol car of this age and CO2 output. Routine servicing costs are low, with oil and filter changes typically £120-£180 at a main dealer and £80-£120 at an independent specialist. The 2022 MOT failure for a coil spring and the 2025 advisories for brake discs and a suspension bush suggest buyers should budget £300-£500 in immediate refresh work if these items have not already been addressed.
Start with all four tyres and look for cracking on the sidewalls and between the tread blocks — the 2023 and 2025 tests both flagged tyre perishing on multiple corners, suggesting rubber degradation rather than simple wear. Even if tread depth looks acceptable, age-hardened tyres should be replaced for safety and will be a useful negotiation point. Next, inspect the front brake discs through the wheel for a visible lip on the outer edge and any scoring or pitting on the disc surface, as both front discs were flagged in the 2025 test.
This September 2015 Toyota Yaris (1.33-litre petrol, silver) has covered just 24,180 miles across four recorded MOT tests over three years, equivalent to roughly 2,400 miles per year — well below the Yaris average of 5,594. It has passed four out of five tests, with the single failure in September 2022 being a fractured offside front coil spring, an easy-to-repair item. The most recent 2025 test passed but flagged multiple advisories for tyre perishing, front brake disc wear, and a worn front lower suspension bush.
The Toyota Yaris has a long-established reputation as one of the most reliable small cars on the UK market, with strong residual values and consistently high MOT pass rates. Aggregate data across over 470,000 examples shows headlamp and tyre issues as the most common failure points, both of which are typical consumable items rather than fundamental mechanical weaknesses.
