Our take on the Toyota Yaris

A 2023 Toyota Yaris typically advertises at €19,950 and a 2018 one at €13,950, so it loses roughly 7% of its value a year at that age, slower than most cars. Most for sale are petrols; diesels are rarer, at 1%. At the NCT, the 2008–2022 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 1.5 hybrid is the most common engine (71% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 450k km.

Common Toyota Yaris problems

Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.

Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500

Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.

Timing belt history · €350–€700

Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.

1.3 Petrol~400k km~€21013
1.4 Diesel~350k km~€1808

1.5 Hybrid: usual problem: hybrid battery may need replacing past ~300,000 km.

1.4 Diesel: usual problem: injectors and clutch are the usual big jobs.

"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
