You should be aware the MOT advisory system reporting changed in 2019 iirc. Before then, all were reported. After then ,only major ones. All the rust issues reported on your car are minor.

I replaced the resistor on our 2003 Yaris... s/hand part ebay c £10 iirc. Easy job.Even I could do it -
I have two tools for such clumsiness: a magnet on the end of an extending telescopic tube. and a flexible pick up head with a flexible steel tube for grabbing items in tight spaces. Used at least once a year. You are not alone 🤑

Front passenger side sensor/wire prone to stone damage

Crumple zones all OK. A couple of brackets bent and the plastic fixings holding on front wing smashed. Total Cost of DIY repair under £225. (headlamp £200). Wife quite calm at time . Then distressed. Now recovered. Thanks for your concerns..As we get older - both in our mid 70s, events tend to hit harder Car still looks nice

Our Mark 1 T Spirit D4d came into our ownership in 2005. Much loved and 62k miles. A week ago a (very rude word ) driver overtook my wife on a 20 meter long strip of dual carriageway at night, and decided to turn left when he was level with her. Hit driver's side front bumper , wing and headlamp . I have replaced the headlamp after some panel beating (crude sort), and it has just passed its MOT but our insurers deem it uneconomic to repair so we have bought it back net of salvage and insurance excess and are about to receive a largeish three figure lump sum. Crumple zones all undamaged but bumper is cracked - I will fettle it later. Headlamp on D4D (And T Sport) is not available used (scarce) and is made in Japan so Approx £200 new! (I received a 10% discount as I have an account with our local Toyota dealer (Pinkstone). Drives well - no steering/suspension damage and radiator untouched. Bumper was moved approx 5cm sideways and many of the plastic trim retaining screws/washers holding on under bonnet plastic shields collapsed with the impact. I retrieved the missing bumper inserts - see second picture next day in daylight, reassembled bumper and it looks ok ish if tatty.Some fettling to follow.

I would cover the mating sections of the pillar with small squares of duck tape..to deaden the sound

Just saying: the master cylinder in our 2003 Yaris is original and works perfectly so far (MOT passed again today)
