2 front brake rotors (original started to score)
Wiper blades 2x both sides
Speed sensors both side (due to corrosion)

Right now:
Factory battery - DEAD

Next up:
2 rear brake shoes (getting low)
Transmission oil replacement (required)
Coolant replacement (required)
2 front wheel bearings (for good cause)
2 front axles (appears bent)
1 right front outer tie rod (leaking grease)
1 right sway bar link (left one replaced @ $200 rip)
2 front struts / 2 rear
^ u my friend got a lemon of a yarii.....how many km on ur car? what have u done to it? all extra work i have needed done to my yaris is cuz somehow i messed up and got it covered under warranty

and to OP thats great, i dont know how u did it..... it was raining today and i was noticing that i will prob have to replace my wipers within the next 6 months. my car was a year old as of jan 6th and i now have about 45,000km

better then my moms 01 camry, she eats wipers every 8 months or less. think it has to do with it being still the original windsheild and the surface is getting rough.

Wife needed new pads at 66k miles. You definately want to look at them once a year after 50k or so. Personally my brake pads (front) go 100k +.
I let the wifes get to 1/32 inch which was cool and got another year out of them.
