1ND-TV vs M15A-FKS
Side-by-side reliability comparison
Specifications

1ND-TV
"The small Toyota diesel in the Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Urban Cruiser, Verso-S, iQ and the MINI One D (R50). Chain-driven, common-rail, frugal. German guides call it very reliable, but cars built 2008-2014 were recalled because oil can collect in the intercooler and damage the engine, and oil consumption is the classic complaint. City use clogs the DPF and EGR. Check the recall was done."
M15A-FKS
"The non-hybrid 1.5 three-cylinder petrol in the Yaris (XP210) and Yaris Cross: no turbo, direct injection, chain-driven, 120-125 hp. Too new for much used-car data; German guides say little is known yet. The weak point named so far is the water-cooled EGR cooler, which can crack and let coolant into the cylinders. Watch the coolant level and look for white smoke."
