Description
I have owned this car since February 2024. I bought it from an older well-to-do lady who had owned it from new. I purchased with the intention of giving it to my wife as when she passes her driving test and using it myself occasionally to save a bit of money on fuel. My wife hasn't passed her test or ever tried to drive this car, and moved onto learning in an automatic so I have decided to replace it with an automatic Yaris (albeit at double the price).
Key Info:
1 previous owner
Full service history - 12 in total - 9 done at Toyota and 3 independent.
Fresh service just done on 19/08/26 so no expense for the next year
Fresh 12 month MOT with no advisories done on 19/08/26
2 keys
Very low running costs - 60+ miles per gallon, £20/year tax, low insurance group, uses timing chain so no timing belt to replace
It is the Icon Plus spec which is much better than most standard Yaris' out there. I intentionally searched for this spec when buying this car as it includes:
Front and Rear Electric windows (most Yaris only have front)
Auto headlights and rain sensing wipers
Cruise Control with speed limiter
Separate digital climate control for driver and passenger
Lexus style rear LED lights
Upgraded dark grey Yaris alloys
Also includes very useful standard Yaris equipment such as:
Air conditioning (re-gassed last month)
6.1 inch multimedia screen
Reversing camera
Bluetooth audio and USB input
Upgrades I have made:
LED reverse light - which makes it so much easier to use the reversing camera at night
Toyota Yaris SR Steering wheel (with perforated leather), All steering buttons work
Upgraded 12v battery with 20% more capacity to make sure the car starts first time even after leaving it parked in the drive for a few weeks as it's a second car.
Everything works as it should.
Bad bits - Nothing mechanical, just cosmetic. Some kerbing and paint peeling on wheels, few marks on front and rear bumper and a bit of paint peeling on front bumper. All to be expected for age and mileage.
Viewing and test drives welcome. Any questions, please get in touch. No tyre kickers or low ballers. I'm in absolutely no rush to sell as it's so cheap to keep on the road as a spare car.
