WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: TOYOTA YARIS (2011-2016)

The Yaris is a great second-hand car thanks to its mighty reputation for reliability. In fact, some owners get years and years and hundreds of thousands of trouble-free kilometres from Yarises and, provided basic maintenance schedules are adhered to, there's no reason you won't either.

Engines are robust and use a timing chain rather than a timing belt, so that should last the life of the car without costly replacement. The catch is that the little Yaris engine only carries about 2.5 litres of oil, so it gets worked hard.

Toyota recommends 10,000km oil-change intervals and we wouldn't stretch these. Dirty oil will gunk up an engine and if there's a ticking noise when you first start the car that goes away, this process has probably already occurred.

Check for oil leaks from the transmission and engine, although a little smear of oil from the rocker-cover is nothing to worry about. While you're underneath, take a look at the rubber boots that cover the CV joints on each driveshaft. If these are already split, the joints are also probably already damaged from dirt and grime getting into the delicate workings.

Also, check the body condition for signs of poor repairs. These cars were popular with younger, possibly accident-prone drivers who sometimes skimped on insurance, leading to cheap repairs when the inevitable happened.
