2 known faults with sources

Engines: 1.33 VVT-i (Petrol)

Oil consumption on the 1.33 Dual VVT-i (1NR-FE)Engine

Engine / equipment: 1.33 Dual VVT-i (1NR-FE): Yaris, iQ, Urban Cruiser, Auris and Verso-S
Period mentioned: Approx. 2008–2013
Symptoms: The oil level drops between services (more than half a litre per 1,000 km and up to a litre or more), usually from 150,000–200,000 km; bluish smoke.
Possible cause described: Owner forums blame low-friction piston rings that do not scrape the oil well; the fix was revised pistons and rings. The German Yaris II guide says it was only fully fixed in the next model.
Check for the garage: Check the history for oil top-ups or replaced pistons; measure consumption between two changes and check the spark plugs.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Engines: 1.4 D-4D (Diesel)

Injectors, dual-mass flywheel and oil consumption on the 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV)Injection / turbo

Engine / equipment: 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV): Yaris, Yaris Verso, iQ, Urban Cruiser, Corolla, Auris and Verso-S
Period mentioned: Approx. 2001–2018
Symptoms: Hard starting, rough idle, smoke and loss of power; noise or vibration from the flywheel when starting and releasing the clutch; oil consumption.
Possible cause described: Soot builds up in the injectors and EGR valve, especially with many short trips. The dual-mass flywheel wears and, in the worst case, damages the gearbox. Failures of the rail pressure regulator and oil consumption through the turbo or crankcase ventilation are also reported.
Check for the garage: Read the codes, run an injector back-leak test and check the EGR. Listen to the flywheel at idle with the clutch released. Measure oil consumption.
Cost cited in the source: Approx. €1,000–1,600 for dual-mass flywheel and clutch (German guide).A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
