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.
Engines and how long they last

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.
