Toyota Yaris Tr Vvt I (2010)
2010 Toyota Yaris Tr Vvt I
CarHunch analysed 514 real MOT records for the 2010 Toyota Yaris Tr Vvt I. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Yaris TR VVT-I has a first-time pass rate of 72%, which is 8 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these cars are slightly more prone to MOT failures as they age. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort of 514 have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety issues aren't the story here.
The median mileage of 68,345 miles is reasonable for a 14-year-old car, and the average of 0.84 failures per vehicle tells us most problems are minor—worn brake pads, suspension wear, or lighting issues rather than anything structural. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the brakes and suspension, and budget for routine maintenance to keep this otherwise solid little car on the road.
What to check before buying a 2010 Toyota Yaris Tr Vvt I
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
