2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ21 AFV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-03-11 MOT at 28,006 miles confirming no defects. All prior tests, including the 2025-03-21 and 2024-03-19 MOTs, also recorded passes with no issues. The 2024-03-19 entry notes a failed test, though no defects were listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-technical failure. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical faults indicates consistent maintenance. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of ~5,601 miles, significantly below typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. From 12,277 miles in 2024 to 17,293 in 2025, the increase of 5,016 miles over 12 months aligns with moderate use. However, the jump to 28,006 miles by 2026-03-11—10,713 miles in 12 months—suggests a sudden surge in activity. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain elements, warranting closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system for uneven wear or corrosion, given the mileage spike, and assess suspension components for signs of stress or fatigue. The low initial mileage raises concerns about potential dry rot in rubber parts or seized mechanisms from infrequent use. While no structural issues or emissions failures are documented, the abrupt increase in usage since 2025 could mask underlying wear not yet flagged in MOT records.
