2020 Toyota GR Yaris Circuit 4WD 1.6L Petrol · FV70 WNS

The 2026-07-27 assessment concludes that the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris Circuit 4WD remains fully roadworthy, as evidenced by the December 12, 2025 MOT at 12,616 miles which recorded zero defects and shows a stable maintenance trend with no recurring failures. The recorded mileage has risen steadily from 9,280 miles in December 2023 to 11,202 miles in November 2024, and finally to 12,616 miles in December 2025, indicating a consistent annual increase of roughly 1,300–1,400 miles. This pattern aligns with the vehicle’s age of six years and reflects light usage, with no abrupt jumps or extended periods of inactivity evident in the log. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, specifically the front and rear bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on high‑performance 4WD models; the tester noted no binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear in the recent test, yet a visual inspection of the brake pads, discs and hand‑brake mechanism remains advisable. Particular attention should be given to the underbody for any signs of structural rust, especially around the chassis rails and wheel arches, and to the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks that could affect emissions compliance. While the MOT history shows a clean record with no recurring mechanical failures, the low annual mileage suggests that routine maintenance intervals may have been extended; a prospective purchaser should verify service records, confirm that tyre tread depth, wiper condition and fluid levels are within spec, and consider a pre‑purchase mechanical inspection to validate the condition of the drivetrain and suspension components.
