Should you buy a used Toyota Yaris Gs?

The Toyota Yaris Gs has an overall MOT pass rate of 74.8% across 2,331 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

The most common problems on the Toyota Yaris Gs are brake application uneven (1 recorded failures), headlamp excessively deteriorated so that the light output is severely reduced has no pattern (1), and tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.

A typical Toyota Yaris Gs owner drives around 3,630 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
