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.
The 2010 Toyota Yaris Tr Vvt I passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 514 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
