Toyota Yaris with high mileage

If it was a 2ltr car I'd have no quarms, but a 1.3 of that age? I wouldnt be interested. How many more miles would you propose to put on it?

Some car dealers have been known to tell porkies..

I bought and ex driving school car, a 5 door Nova from the auctions for the wife. Did'nt realise it at the time or I probably would'nt have gone for it. It was 3 years old and just about mint. We had no issues at all in the 4 years we had it, and the only way I knew it had been a learners car was that I found the driving schools business card in the spare wheel well about a year after.

My Yaris is a 51 plate, 1litre engine and last week went through 129000 miles. It still has its original clutch, exhaust and battery (as well as all the other bits under the bonnet!). I do over 400 miles a week and about 50% of that is motorway, it isn't garaged and a mate services it annually for me. He says he has several Yaris customers and none of them have needed anything substantial. I intend to keep it at least another two years while I save up for its replacement, but if it is still going strong then I'll keep it longer. Old cars are normal for me - I learned to drive in our old Morris Minor which my mum took her test in when she was pregnant with me!!

Don't be put off by the mileage. A Yaris is a good car and easy to maintain.
