2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · BX16 ACU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 91 790 miles with no recorded defects. However the preceding test on 23 February 2026 at the same mileage failed due to an offside front wheel bearing rough when rotated, service brake binding, and both front and rear bumpers insecure. The swift correction of those faults within four days indicates the issues were addressed promptly, but the pattern of brake‑related wear and suspension/component security suggests a mixed maintenance trend rather than a clear improvement. Mileage accumulation has been steady over the car’s ten‑year life. From 28 227 miles in February 2019 the odometer rose to 91 790 miles by February 2026, averaging roughly 9 200 miles per year. Annual MOT intervals show consistent mileage gains—typically 7 000–12 000 miles each year—without significant gaps. The clustering of two MOTs in February 2026 highlights a rapid remedial cycle rather than a long‑standing neglect of mileage growth. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake discs for pitting and scoring, verify that the inner brake pads are not excessively thin, and examine the rear tyre for any cracking or perishing. The wheel bearing should be checked for roughness on rotation, and both bumpers need scrutiny for secure mounting and any structural looseness. Additionally, look for corrosion around the suspension mounts and exhaust brackets, as the recurring brake‑disc advisories and bumper insecurity point to wear on consumable and structural components that may require attention soon.
