Things to know if you want to buy a used Toyota Yaris II

Model: Toyota Yaris Xp90 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

The Toyota Yaris II is a reliable and sturdy car, and the engines rarely have serious problems if maintenance has been carried out regularly. The 1.0 VVT-i and 1.3 VVT-i engines are particularly reliable and suitable for city use, offering low fuel consumption. The 1.4 D-4D diesel engine is a good engine, but it is important to carefully check the maintenance history, especially regarding the DPF. It is important to check the water pump and clutch, components that may have had issues. We ask to check the owner's manual to verify that the scheduled services have been carried out regularly and on time; check that the mileage is consistent with the age of the car, inspect the bodywork for rust, scratches, dents, or signs of past accidents. Pay attention also to the condition of the interior, the wear of the seats, steering wheel, and dashboard, and verify the functionality of the electrical accessories. Of course, a test drive will give us information on the operation of the engine and gearbox, brakes, suspension, and steering: we should listen carefully for any suspicious noises. It is important to establish a maximum budget for the purchase, taking into account the costs for the change of ownership; if buying from a dealer, they should provide at least one year of warranty; if buying from a private seller, it is advisable to get a special insurance for mechanical parts, to compensate for the lack of warranty that the private seller cannot provide.
